FUTURETECH Featuring Pyrotecnio part of Live Events - From Small Town Roots to Spectacle Innovators
This episode dives into the evolution of Pyrotecnico, the legacy fireworks and special effects company out of New Castle, Pennsylvania. Chris and Lacy explore the company’s family-driven history, its game-changing innovations like drone shows, and its impact on legendary Live Events
1
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,560
All right.
Welcome back to Geezers of Gear
2
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,200
Future Tech.
I'm Chris, and as always, I'm
3
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,360
joined by Lacey.
Today we're diving into the
4
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,520
story of pyrotechnico, one of
those names you just can't
5
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,080
separate from the word fireworks
in the US.
6
00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:34,760
Lacey, you ever been to New
Castle, PA?
7
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,080
You know, I haven't, but I feel
like I should have by now.
8
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,440
It's what the fireworks capital
of America that right?
9
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,160
I mean that that's not just a
marketing thing, is it?
10
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,440
No, it's the real deal.
I actually went out there for
11
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,280
1/4 of July show a few years
back.
12
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,520
The whole town just it buzzes.
You can feel the pride.
13
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,480
And honestly, it's not just
about the fireworks, it's about
14
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,080
the people.
Pyrotechnico's been there since
15
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,160
the early 1920s, started by
Italian immigrants who get this
16
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,320
worked in the tin mills by day
and made fireworks at night.
17
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,720
It's got that classic American
story, you know?
18
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,360
That's wild.
So like 5 generations now,
19
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,880
right?
I read that the Vitali family
20
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,520
still runs it and they've got
the next generation already in
21
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,480
the business.
It's not just a company, it's a
22
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,880
family legacy and they really
care about the community too.
23
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,120
I saw the CEO Stephen Vitale
talking about wanting to be a
24
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,960
source of pride for Newcastle
and even more to give young
25
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:35,240
people a shot at a career that's
pretty rare these days.
26
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,920
Yeah, and you can see it in how
they operate.
27
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,560
It's not just about the big
shows.
28
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,640
They still do The local
community displays, treat every
29
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,720
event like it's the Super Bowl.
And I mean the property they're
30
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,360
on.
It's been in the family since
31
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,960
1922.
You walk around and you just
32
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,760
feel the history.
I remember the first time I was
33
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,320
there, the air was thick with
anticipation, Kids running
34
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,040
around, everyone waiting for
that first boom.
35
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,800
It's a bit like, well, it's like
being backstage before a big
36
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,600
gig, but the whole town's in on
it.
37
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,919
I love that, and honestly it's
cool to see a company that big
38
00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:13,600
still so rooted in its hometown,
especially when they're doing
39
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,560
thousands of shows a year all
over the country.
40
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,760
It's like no matter how big they
get, they don't forget where
41
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,600
they started.
Exactly.
42
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,880
And, you know, Stephen Vitale
said it himself, they want to be
43
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,440
an option for young people,
whether they're coming out of
44
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,080
college or high school.
It's hard work, but if you love
45
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,560
entertainment, it's a real path.
I think that's something a lot
46
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,000
of us in live events can relate
to.
47
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,760
Yeah.
Oh, for sure.
48
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:38,240
I mean, that's how I got
started.
49
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,720
Just kind of fell into it, and
then you realize it's a family,
50
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,200
even if you're not related by
blood.
51
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,440
Pyrotechnico's just taken that
to a whole other level.
52
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,520
So let's talk about how
pyrotechnico's gone from, you
53
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,880
know, classic fireworks to being
this full on special effects
54
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,040
powerhouse.
I mean, it's not just about the
55
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,360
oohs and ours anymore, is it?
No way they've really pushed the
56
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,400
envelope.
I was reading about how they
57
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,960
started adding flame, cryo,
atmospheric effects, lasers, and
58
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,200
now drones.
Like actual drone light shows.
59
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,080
That's a whole new level of
storytelling in the sky.
60
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:15,480
Yeah, and it's not just a
gimmick, the CEO said.
61
00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:17,600
If we aren't innovating, we're
dying.
62
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,160
And you see that in how they've
evolved.
63
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,160
They started getting into
special effects around 2010,
64
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,880
mostly because their clients,
especially in sports, were
65
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,080
asking for more.
And now they're doing things
66
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,200
like FAA approved pyrotechnic
drones so you can have fireworks
67
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,560
and drones working together
animating logos or telling a
68
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,560
story up there.
It's, well, it's a bit like
69
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,320
having ATV screen in the sky,
isn't it?
70
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,280
That's such a good way to put
it.
71
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,320
And I mean, the tech behind that
has to be wild.
72
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,680
I always wonder, like, what's
the hardest effect to actually
73
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,280
pull off live?
Is it the timing, the safety, or
74
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,480
just getting all those moving
parts to work together?
75
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,320
Honestly, it's all of the above.
I mean, you know how it is.
76
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,280
Live events are chaos on a good
day, but with drones, you've got
77
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,280
to deal with FAA regulations,
weather, programming, the
78
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,600
choreography, and then you add
pyrotechnics on top of that.
79
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,760
It's a logistical puzzle, but
when it works, it's magic, and
80
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,000
it really does change what
audiences expect.
81
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,720
People want bigger, brighter,
more immersive experiences.
82
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,839
Now.
It's not enough to just light up
83
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,960
the sky.
You've got to tell a story.
84
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,680
Yeah, and I think that's why
pyrotechnicos stayed at the top.
85
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,760
They're not just following
trends, they're setting them,
86
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,440
and they're not afraid to try
new things, even if it's risky.
87
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,160
Like the CEO said, they're
always building two companies,
88
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,640
the one they are and the one
they're becoming.
89
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,400
That's a mindset a lot of
companies could learn from.
90
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,400
Absolutely.
And you know, it's not just
91
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,240
about the tech, it's about the
people behind it, the vision and
92
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,120
the willingness to adapt.
I mean, as we talked about in
93
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,560
our episode on Elation's digital
transformation, it's that same
94
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,240
drive to innovate and stay
ahead.
95
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,360
Pyrotechnico's just doing it
with a lot more firepower,
96
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,360
literally.
All right, so let's get into the
97
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,000
big stuff, the shows that make
your jaw drop.
98
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,160
Pyrotechnico has been behind
some of the biggest moments in
99
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,600
live events.
We're talking Super Bowl
100
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,520
halftime shows, tours for
Beyoncé, the weekend, Post
101
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,320
Malone, Shakira, and then there
was the National Medal of Honor
102
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,320
Museum grand opening this year.
That one had over 1000 drones
103
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,520
and fireworks all perfectly
synced.
104
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,400
I mean that that's not just a
show, that's a full on
105
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,960
experience.
Yeah, and it's not just
106
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,520
pyrotechnico on their own,
they've grown a new sister
107
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,640
brand, Live Events, Productions
and the whole network, Gemini,
108
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:43,080
LSV, Delicate, Active, Zenith.
It's a proper team effort.
109
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,720
You get seamless audio,
lighting, video, special
110
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,920
effects, even drones all working
together.
111
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,320
Totally.
I remember seeing pyrotechnicos
112
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,000
work at a festival a few years
back.
113
00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:01,040
I was backstage and it was just
chaos, people running radios
114
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,480
blaring, last minute changes.
But then when the show started,
115
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,000
it was flawless.
The crowd had no idea what went
116
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,120
on behind the scenes.
That's the magic of live events,
117
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,440
right?
All that controlled chaos and
118
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,160
then you get this perfect
moment.
119
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,400
Yeah, and that's what sets them
apart.
120
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,080
They treat every show, whether
it's the Super Bowl or a local
121
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,920
4th of July, as if it's the most
important one.
122
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:28,720
And with the 250th birthday of
America coming up, they're
123
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,160
already planning for what might
be the biggest fireworks here
124
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,920
ever.
I mean, the scale of what
125
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,160
they're preparing for, it's hard
to even wrap your head around
126
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,000
it.
And they're still keeping that
127
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,920
family feel even as they go
global.
128
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,840
It's inspiring, honestly.
Makes you want to step up your
129
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:46,760
own game, you know?
Absolutely.
130
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,720
Well, that's all we've got for
this episode.
131
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,360
Pyrotechnico's story is still
being written, and I have a
132
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,840
feeling we'll be talking about
their next big innovation soon
133
00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:58,320
enough.
Laci, always a pleasure.
134
00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:00,680
You too, Chris.
Thanks for listening, everyone.
135
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,840
We'll catch you next time on
Geezers of Gear Future Tech Take
136
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:12,400
care.
Future tech is here.
137
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,480
Come on man, we make the specs
so clear.
138
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,920
Oh La La with music to your
ears.
139
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,000
Hey, hey, hey.
Let's go.
140
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:31,720
New gear vibes, new tech jive
gear hits unite.
141
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,360
We keep it live.
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,560
All right.
Welcome back to Geezers of Gear
2
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,200
Future Tech.
I'm Chris, and as always, I'm
3
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,360
joined by Lacey.
Today we're diving into the
4
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,520
story of pyrotechnico, one of
those names you just can't
5
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,080
separate from the word fireworks
in the US.
6
00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:34,760
Lacey, you ever been to New
Castle, PA?
7
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,080
You know, I haven't, but I feel
like I should have by now.
8
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,440
It's what the fireworks capital
of America that right?
9
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,160
I mean that that's not just a
marketing thing, is it?
10
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,440
No, it's the real deal.
I actually went out there for
11
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,280
1/4 of July show a few years
back.
12
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,520
The whole town just it buzzes.
You can feel the pride.
13
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,480
And honestly, it's not just
about the fireworks, it's about
14
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,080
the people.
Pyrotechnico's been there since
15
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,160
the early 1920s, started by
Italian immigrants who get this
16
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,320
worked in the tin mills by day
and made fireworks at night.
17
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,720
It's got that classic American
story, you know?
18
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,360
That's wild.
So like 5 generations now,
19
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,880
right?
I read that the Vitali family
20
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,520
still runs it and they've got
the next generation already in
21
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,480
the business.
It's not just a company, it's a
22
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,880
family legacy and they really
care about the community too.
23
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,120
I saw the CEO Stephen Vitale
talking about wanting to be a
24
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,960
source of pride for Newcastle
and even more to give young
25
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:35,240
people a shot at a career that's
pretty rare these days.
26
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,920
Yeah, and you can see it in how
they operate.
27
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,560
It's not just about the big
shows.
28
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,640
They still do The local
community displays, treat every
29
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,720
event like it's the Super Bowl.
And I mean the property they're
30
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,360
on.
It's been in the family since
31
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,960
1922.
You walk around and you just
32
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,760
feel the history.
I remember the first time I was
33
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,320
there, the air was thick with
anticipation, Kids running
34
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,040
around, everyone waiting for
that first boom.
35
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,800
It's a bit like, well, it's like
being backstage before a big
36
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,600
gig, but the whole town's in on
it.
37
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,919
I love that, and honestly it's
cool to see a company that big
38
00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:13,600
still so rooted in its hometown,
especially when they're doing
39
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,560
thousands of shows a year all
over the country.
40
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,760
It's like no matter how big they
get, they don't forget where
41
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,600
they started.
Exactly.
42
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,880
And, you know, Stephen Vitale
said it himself, they want to be
43
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,440
an option for young people,
whether they're coming out of
44
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,080
college or high school.
It's hard work, but if you love
45
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,560
entertainment, it's a real path.
I think that's something a lot
46
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,000
of us in live events can relate
to.
47
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,760
Yeah.
Oh, for sure.
48
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:38,240
I mean, that's how I got
started.
49
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,720
Just kind of fell into it, and
then you realize it's a family,
50
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,200
even if you're not related by
blood.
51
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,440
Pyrotechnico's just taken that
to a whole other level.
52
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,520
So let's talk about how
pyrotechnico's gone from, you
53
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,880
know, classic fireworks to being
this full on special effects
54
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,040
powerhouse.
I mean, it's not just about the
55
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,360
oohs and ours anymore, is it?
No way they've really pushed the
56
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,400
envelope.
I was reading about how they
57
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,960
started adding flame, cryo,
atmospheric effects, lasers, and
58
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,200
now drones.
Like actual drone light shows.
59
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,080
That's a whole new level of
storytelling in the sky.
60
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:15,480
Yeah, and it's not just a
gimmick, the CEO said.
61
00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:17,600
If we aren't innovating, we're
dying.
62
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,160
And you see that in how they've
evolved.
63
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,160
They started getting into
special effects around 2010,
64
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,880
mostly because their clients,
especially in sports, were
65
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,080
asking for more.
And now they're doing things
66
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,200
like FAA approved pyrotechnic
drones so you can have fireworks
67
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,560
and drones working together
animating logos or telling a
68
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,560
story up there.
It's, well, it's a bit like
69
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,320
having ATV screen in the sky,
isn't it?
70
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,280
That's such a good way to put
it.
71
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,320
And I mean, the tech behind that
has to be wild.
72
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,680
I always wonder, like, what's
the hardest effect to actually
73
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,280
pull off live?
Is it the timing, the safety, or
74
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,480
just getting all those moving
parts to work together?
75
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,320
Honestly, it's all of the above.
I mean, you know how it is.
76
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,280
Live events are chaos on a good
day, but with drones, you've got
77
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,280
to deal with FAA regulations,
weather, programming, the
78
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,600
choreography, and then you add
pyrotechnics on top of that.
79
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,760
It's a logistical puzzle, but
when it works, it's magic, and
80
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,000
it really does change what
audiences expect.
81
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,720
People want bigger, brighter,
more immersive experiences.
82
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,839
Now.
It's not enough to just light up
83
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,960
the sky.
You've got to tell a story.
84
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,680
Yeah, and I think that's why
pyrotechnicos stayed at the top.
85
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,760
They're not just following
trends, they're setting them,
86
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,440
and they're not afraid to try
new things, even if it's risky.
87
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,160
Like the CEO said, they're
always building two companies,
88
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,640
the one they are and the one
they're becoming.
89
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,400
That's a mindset a lot of
companies could learn from.
90
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,400
Absolutely.
And you know, it's not just
91
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,240
about the tech, it's about the
people behind it, the vision and
92
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,120
the willingness to adapt.
I mean, as we talked about in
93
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,560
our episode on Elation's digital
transformation, it's that same
94
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,240
drive to innovate and stay
ahead.
95
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,360
Pyrotechnico's just doing it
with a lot more firepower,
96
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,360
literally.
All right, so let's get into the
97
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,000
big stuff, the shows that make
your jaw drop.
98
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,160
Pyrotechnico has been behind
some of the biggest moments in
99
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,600
live events.
We're talking Super Bowl
100
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,520
halftime shows, tours for
Beyoncé, the weekend, Post
101
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,320
Malone, Shakira, and then there
was the National Medal of Honor
102
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,320
Museum grand opening this year.
That one had over 1000 drones
103
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,520
and fireworks all perfectly
synced.
104
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,400
I mean that that's not just a
show, that's a full on
105
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,960
experience.
Yeah, and it's not just
106
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,520
pyrotechnico on their own,
they've grown a new sister
107
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,640
brand, Live Events, Productions
and the whole network, Gemini,
108
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:43,080
LSV, Delicate, Active, Zenith.
It's a proper team effort.
109
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,720
You get seamless audio,
lighting, video, special
110
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,920
effects, even drones all working
together.
111
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,320
Totally.
I remember seeing pyrotechnicos
112
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,000
work at a festival a few years
back.
113
00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:01,040
I was backstage and it was just
chaos, people running radios
114
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,480
blaring, last minute changes.
But then when the show started,
115
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,000
it was flawless.
The crowd had no idea what went
116
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,120
on behind the scenes.
That's the magic of live events,
117
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,440
right?
All that controlled chaos and
118
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,160
then you get this perfect
moment.
119
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,400
Yeah, and that's what sets them
apart.
120
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,080
They treat every show, whether
it's the Super Bowl or a local
121
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,920
4th of July, as if it's the most
important one.
122
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:28,720
And with the 250th birthday of
America coming up, they're
123
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,160
already planning for what might
be the biggest fireworks here
124
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,920
ever.
I mean, the scale of what
125
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,160
they're preparing for, it's hard
to even wrap your head around
126
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,000
it.
And they're still keeping that
127
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,920
family feel even as they go
global.
128
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,840
It's inspiring, honestly.
Makes you want to step up your
129
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:46,760
own game, you know?
Absolutely.
130
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,720
Well, that's all we've got for
this episode.
131
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,360
Pyrotechnico's story is still
being written, and I have a
132
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,840
feeling we'll be talking about
their next big innovation soon
133
00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:58,320
enough.
Laci, always a pleasure.
134
00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:00,680
You too, Chris.
Thanks for listening, everyone.
135
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,840
We'll catch you next time on
Geezers of Gear Future Tech Take
136
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:12,400
care.
Future tech is here.
137
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,480
Come on man, we make the specs
so clear.
138
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,920
Oh La La with music to your
ears.
139
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,000
Hey, hey, hey.
Let's go.
140
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:31,720
New gear vibes, new tech jive
gear hits unite.
141
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,360
We keep it live.
