How to reconcile the Funimation dub with itself?

Not only the narrator in the recap but Pan within the main body of the show states that it’s been a year since Baby used the black star dragon balls almost immediately after his defeat. They really expect us to believe the fight with Baby took a whole year? Goku had to forego Old Kai’s training explicitly because of the urgency of the situation. If he was actually in the otherworld for 50 weeks that wouldn’t have been the case. Is there any way to make this timeframe make sense?
