Highlights from Pitbull on the Honda Stage at the iHeartRadio Theater include:

· When talking about collaborations he said any excuse he can get to work with the beautiful Jennifer Lopez is a good one.

· Said what's so special about this new album is it's a platform for up and coming artists like John Ryan, while being able to feature amazing artists like Jason Derulo, Sean Paul, and Chris Brown

· Jesse asked how he picks and chooses who he wants to collaborate since his phone must be going off constantly with so many requests, Pitbull responded.

o "Well I'll always work with Jennifer, but I'm surprisingly connected and disconnected at the same time when it comes to technology and my phone. But anyone that's willing to make great music I'm open to collaborating with."

· Was named the 5th honorary Penguin of Madagascar "Chico" after his single "Celebrate" was featured on the movie soundtrack.

· Stated the new single off his new album with Ne-Yo "Time Of Our Lives" is all about staying positive when times are rough.

· When he asked why he wears suits all the time Pitbull said it's definitely a story about from nothing to something, and it reminds him how lucky he is to have the life he does.

· Before performing his first song he told the audience whatever is on their mind from; car payments, loans, baby mama drama, mortgage payments - forget about everything for the next hour; just like how he forgets everything while he's performing on stage.

· Jesse asked with the advancement of technology is there ever chance he'll ever become Mr. Intergalactic to which Pitbull responded, "There was an asteroid named after me by NASA, I don't know if you all remember that one. So maybe one day."

· When talking about traveling during the holidays he said it's a beautiful thing to travel with the people you love. We have to make our own Thanksgiving and Christmas, but it's always an amazing experience.
