Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Conan O'Brien needs a fan. Want to talk to Conan? Visit teamcoco.com slash callconan. Okay, let's get started.
Oh, no. Chew, chew. What'd you say? Terrible timing. Terrible timing. Oh, no. Hey, welcome to Conan O'Brien News and Fan. Oh, my God.
I want to apologize for... Let me apologize quickly to you, sir. Matt Gourley was chewing what looked like a kind of a nut bar. It was a nut bar. And that's rude because we're talking to you. You're a guest. But my mouth is clear and I can speak to you succinctly. I'm sorry.
I just was given no real warning. No, I think you did. I thought that's just how you talk. Yeah. You've been away for a while. So maybe something happened. Thank you.
Yes. Andrew. Yes. I forgot how to talk. Andrew brought out the big guns right away. He knows you took an overly long paternity leave. Here we go. Your name, sir, is Andrew Zolte. That's your real name. But you go by the name. Tell me how to pronounce this. Breakfast. That name.
How did you think it would have been?
I didn't know if it was. It says breakfast. And I thought, oh, chances are I'm going to say breakfast. And he's going to go, excuse me.
It's break fast. But it is here in the notes that it means to move fast and break stuff.
I don't read the notes. Oh, okay. I talk to people. I was trying to help you. You're an accountant over in the corner.

Chapter 2: What is kinetic sculpture and how is it created?
Well, I'm serious. We can make that.
Why isn't it twirling?
I know. And it should twirl. It should grow and shrink in relation to... Now we're talking. Okay. I went too far. Yeah. But... Grow and shrink. It's getting boners. But I have a question. I have a... Well... Wouldn't that be amazing if they could grow and shrink in relation to what's happening? If only. Clearly, I'm completely unfamiliar with how a real penis works.
Mine goes up and down based on that lake in Mexico. Yeah. Whenever a lake passes, he's like... Breakfast. And I say this. I love saying breakfast. Now, listen here, breakfast. You are the most important meal of the day. What are the devices at work? What's happening to what kind of mechanical stuff are you doing? What kind of wiring? I'm just curious. I don't need to get into the weeds. We will.
Yeah. Well, I should be fair in that over there, normally there's 16 people that help me do this these days because we make massive, massive things. So we're doing all the electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, industrial design. So there's computers inside each one of these things. There's motors.
We've made pieces with 9,000 motors that move 24 hours a day in the middle of cruise ships and weird stuff like that. But it is... Complex takes a tremendous amount of effort and time and gets really nerdy.
I have a question.
But, you know, it's just for the kids.
What is this? It's very cool. These things look amazing. What is the it's funny to ask about sculpture, but what's the maintenance? I mean, do you get called in like you've you've done a very beautiful, complicated and they say, yes, one of the servos, one of the nine thousand servos is on the fritz. Is it hard to maintain?

Chapter 3: How does real-time data influence kinetic sculptures?
I'll make sure my lawyer doesn't listen to this.
Yeah.
Now, do you have a dream to one day build something that's on the same scale as, you know, you know, one of those sculptures or pieces of architecture that defines a city? Do you know what I'm saying? The way the Eiffel Tower defines Paris, the way the Trump arch is going to define Washington, D.C. Do you do? And by the way, you should you should make that thing move, you know. Somewhere else.
Move out of town. Right? Hey, we did political humor. Look at us. We're not so dumb. Anyway, go ahead. What do you think?
Yeah, no, I mean, that is the dream, I would say, is that we don't build like the Eiffel Tower kind of pieces anymore. And if they are, I don't know. I want to create something. That's the big dream, is to create something like that. But now imagine... Brookline Mass. A giant mechanical Conan used car balloon.
What would you do? Let's say I was insane and let's say I had a massive amount of money and I commissioned you. How would you depict me? How would you use your powers? How would you use your powers with all these servos and moving parts to do a Conan sculpture?
Just do a Conan. Okay. So what you like, I actually think we should lift from the Michelangelo. I think we need a nice... A boner in Conan. We need a pale figure. A boner in Conan. Hold on. We're going to use that. We're going to use that. And then I think what we're going to do, we're going to make your hair.
It's got to be the hair.
We're going to make it out of brass.

Chapter 4: What are the mechanical components behind kinetic sculptures?
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if you remember four square.
So it was the first moving location. So people would get in their cars to try and get close enough to check into it. And then the blimp would actually get happy or sad. And when it gets sad, it would like go and check into a cemetery. And if it got happy, it would go over to like a baseball game and get a hot dog or check in.
And that's that was so weird. I'm happier at a cemetery and sadder at a baseball game.
i'm not even kidding um uh oh no but that uh you know that's amazing first of all thank you because i thought that blimp was one of the coolest things i was ever associated with it was so much fun um and then i go in it yes i flew in the blimp and i'll never forget this they let me take the wheel at one point which isn't that scary because it's a balloon but i put it into a
a power dive and it was slowly diving down and through the windshield, I don't know if you can remember this, Sona, you were at the Goodyear, I think it was Goodyear.
Yeah, it was.
You were at the Goodyear, you would come with me and so you were in this giant field and I went into a power dive and aimed it at you and I remembered you like in jeans and in that brown leather jacket running away as I was in a power drive, power dive in a Goodyear blimp with my name on it.
It's just like view to a kill.
Yeah, it really, No, it really was. It's one of the funniest images in my head is me. And they're like, well, you're going to want to pull up soon, but it's not dire in a balloon. They mean like, maybe that potato is done in another hour. But I'm in this dive and you saw me coming towards you and you ran. I remember.

Chapter 5: What are the maintenance challenges for kinetic sculptures?
Yay, baby happy. This thing's connected to his ego? Baby happy. My ego, the power of 10,000 suns. Um, listen, you are a very talented person. I really love what you're doing. Uh, I look forward to, I want to check out, uh, I'm going to, I'm going to go online and try and check out, because I want to see these, these sculptures that are on, uh, on the cruise ships. I want to see this stuff.
Is this in a gallery?
They're in galleries.
Yeah, there's some stuff.
Where are you now? Where am I right now?
Can we go there?
This is, This is, yeah, this is Brooklyn. Next time you're in New York, you should come by.
I was in Brooklyn a couple of days ago. I could have gone by. I didn't know.
You could have been here. Yeah, you should have.
