Live TV usually gifts us some really amazing and unforgettable moments not just in MLB, but in life.

Speaking exclusively about baseball, it definitely opens up an opportunity for hilarious moments every once in a while.

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Pete Fairbanks was talking with High Heat with two of his children when his three-year-old made an important announcement.

“Today on @MLBNetwork, Isak, the 3 year old son of @RaysBaseball pitcher Pete Fairbanks, decided it was his time to shine. So he interrupted his dad’s interview to exclaim his important message: he is now potty trained. Pete: ‘Great job bud. You’re gonna say that now though?’” MLB reporter Tricia Whitaker tweeted.

Now that’s some hilarious live TV right there!

Being potty trained is both underrated and important, and we won’t accept a different opinion on that subject.

Fairbanks appears to be embracing fatherhood, just like he embraces the mound.

The right-handed reliever was already a dominant reliever before 2022, but managed to take his game to another level last year.

The sample size is not the biggest at 24 innings, but Fairbanks was perhaps the most impressive reliever in the American League.

With a tiny 1.13 ERA and an even better 0.86 WHIP, his run-prevention stats look exactly like they would if you were playing a video game with the opposition level set at “easy.”

He also struck out 38 hitters against just three walks.

Yes, you read that right: it’s a 3/38 BB/K ratio.

Those numbers earned him a three-year, $12 million extension from the Rays, who will be counting on him to lead their bullpen once again in a much more competitive American League landscape.
