SEGMENT SYNOPSIS

EPISODE #1: COOL SCHOOLS

PMK goes back to school in this episode as our hosts enroll in some of the coolest schools around and learn a whole lot more than reading, writing and arithmetic!

Tyler goes to the only underwater acting school in the world and holds his breath during an audition for a big part. If he can last underwater for at least thirty seconds, he gets the chance to join the underwater theatre troupe and perform as a mermaid or is it a merman? Incredible, huh? The school and theatre are part of a huge underground river complex flowing all the way from New Mexico to Florida and under the guidance of a Navy frogman, actors use special hoses which supply fresh air through a compressor allowing the actors to perform safely underwater. We'll find out if Tyler really has what it takes to be in show business.

Vanessa also has her work cut out for her as she does some rather unusual learning in the desert. First, she heads to Nevada to take on some monster sand dunes and giant boulders from behind the wheel of a Hummer. She finds out what makes this mammoth military land vehicle tick as she takes a tour inside the shop where the vehicles are inspected. She'll also find out what makes the Hummer hum so easily up steep hills and over boulders and how to stop those gigantic tires from getting stuck in the desert mud.

After graduating from Hummer school, Vanessa heads north to Colorado to get the low-down on high-tech protection at the Executive Security Bodyguard school. Although it usually takes two years to complete the course, they've agreed to give Vanessa a crash course in the art of protecting the rich and famous.

She'll learn how to check out a limousine for bugs and bombs, how to hide a walkie-talkie and what to do when someone you're trying to protect gets into trouble. She'll also go on a real mission with real bodyguards and see how the pros get a celebrity safely from their private jet to their limo. And we thought algebra was hard!

Also, this week, Charlie does a little teaching of his own and shows us how to build the perfect treehouse.
