00:00 Thank you to the Arizona Renaissance Festival for sponsoring this segment because the big
00:06 festival is kicking off again here in the valley going until March.
00:11 What a great time to go out and step back in time and we are here with the Renaissance
00:15 men.
00:16 And of course, let's meet them.
00:18 It is Roland and Florian.
00:20 Now you guys have a really cool show because it's a very funny show, right?
00:26 It is.
00:27 It is a stage comedy, a sword fighting comedy show that we do.
00:31 But in addition to that, we also have a brand new offering for the festival this year for
00:35 all the patrons.
00:36 That's right.
00:37 We're doing a brand new show called the hops.
00:39 It's the Arizona pub crawl show.
00:41 It is a 90 minute guided tour of the festival where we're going to stop at four different
00:47 pubs and at each stop you're going to get a craft beer pour a different one at each
00:53 stop and tell them a little bit more.
00:55 And because the show is already 21 and over, we have her majesty's permission to give you
01:00 the bodiest, raunchiest, silliest show that you have had the pleasure of enjoying at the
01:05 festival.
01:06 So you're saying this is an adult show.
01:08 This one's adults only.
01:09 Yes.
01:10 Now if you have a designated driver, make sure to bring them with too.
01:13 All right.
01:14 Can you tell me all the jokes that you guys are going to be trying to get?
01:19 Oh, wow.
01:21 Okay.
01:22 All right.
01:24 I'm blushing.
01:25 What's also great about the red sun festival is a family affair to also what people go
01:31 out and enjoy.
01:32 That's what you're going to do, right?
01:33 Come out with the family.
01:34 That's right.
01:35 Absolutely.
01:36 There are things that people of all ages can enjoy.
01:37 We have all sorts of new things for them to see.
01:40 We have a supernova, the strong woman.
01:42 That's right.
01:43 If you think you know a strong woman, you do not.
01:44 This is the strongest woman you're going to see.
01:46 She not only crushes things on stage, she crushes on stage.
01:50 All right.
01:51 She's better than Maddie or Maddie here because Maddie is a strong woman.
01:53 I saw Maddie walking out the park.
01:55 They might be able to duke it out.
01:56 That's true.
01:57 That's true.
01:58 That'd be good.
01:59 That's fun.
02:00 What's really neat also.
02:01 We have the new music acts for families as well.
02:03 If you like high energy shows, we have the new reeling rogues that will be on site this
02:08 year.
02:09 They are high energy, high octane music.
02:11 Your only complaint will be that they don't play for longer.
02:13 Absolutely.
02:14 As a traditional Irish band, it is their job to tell you about the numerous military losses
02:20 of the Irish.
02:21 That's right.
02:22 We have so many.
02:23 We have so many.
02:24 Wow.
02:25 A lot of energy there.
02:26 A lot of history going on.
02:27 Absolutely.
02:28 Let's talk about, of course, performers at the Renaissance Festival because they travel
02:31 from all over the world, I understand, to give us that entertainment like you two, right?
02:36 Absolutely.
02:37 People come from all over the world to see different acts at the Renaissance Festival.
02:40 Like we said, we have music acts from Ireland.
02:43 We have the Queen's show as well.
02:46 She's come all the way from England as well.
02:47 I've heard.
02:48 She's going to be there.
02:49 She's wearing purple this year.
02:50 I like that.
02:51 And then what's also neat is, of course, the bird show that they have with people who
02:54 can see these amazing birds too.
02:56 But the other bird show that I think I have to say is the most popular bird show at the
03:01 Renaissance Festival, and that is the Turkey Lake.
03:04 That's absolutely.
03:05 Am I right?
03:06 Is that the biggest?
03:07 That is the biggest show that everyone knows.
03:08 Absolutely.
03:09 I mean, those are amazing.
03:10 And people literally wait all year.
03:12 They train.
03:13 They get ready to come and just eat one by theirself.
03:15 But has anybody ever eaten two lakes by themselves?
03:17 I've had about four or five this morning.
03:20 I have seen it done.
03:21 I have seen it done.
03:22 The results were not as pretty as you would think, but it can be accomplished.
03:27 That's right.
03:28 That's what's great about the Renaissance Festival.
03:30 It's a lot to do for the whole family, everyone to get out there and get involved and everything
03:33 like that.
03:34 So let's remind them again about your stage show and the new Hops party.
03:38 That's right.
03:39 Now, the stage show, we do the sword fighting comedy show.
03:42 We are men in tights doing fights.
03:44 That's on stage.
03:45 That's twice a day.
03:46 However, the new Hops is the Arizona pub crawl.
03:48 You have to get your tickets for that ahead of time online at the Arizona website to get
03:54 the tickets.
03:55 It is a pre-expense because of the alcohol.
03:56 I like that.
03:57 There you go.
03:58 All right.
03:59 Well, again, it is the Arizona Renaissance Festival.
04:00 Information is on aztv.com.
04:02 But we want to thank the Arizona Renaissance Festival for sponsoring this.
04:06 So stick around.
04:07 We've got more of the mix coming up after this.
