What, he fathered seven Cell Juniors, didn't he?
And then there's Kami! He fathered Piccolo Daimao. And then you have Dr. Frappe, Ha-chan's second daddy after Dr. Gero. And how about Freeza, father of Kuriza? And you also have Bora, Oopa's dad, and I think Lord Slugg fathered those Mazoku in Movie 4. You've also got Bibidi, father of Babidi and Boo. I'm sure there are others, too. It's not the Kanzenshuu guys' fault, though. That's a lot of dads to remember! Not to mention that the podcast would take forever to get through!
In reference to Goku leaving with Oob at the end of the series, after thinking about it a little, it's not as bad as you guys think. If I remember correctly, Goku could have left to train Oob at any time; hadn't he been sensing his amazing power and fighting prowess for years? But instead he chose to wait for the 28th Tenkaichi Budokai, and he even made Goten train with him for the tournament as an excuse to spend some time with his son before he left. Let's not forget that Goten was pratically an adult himself at this point, so it's not like he's missing out on raising his son or anything. I think at this point Goku has already seen both his boys grow to be fine young men, so him leaving isn't so bad now. I'm not saying he should have done it, however; his poor wife probably misses him dearly, and the whole family probably would have appreciated a little more warning. That's one of the reasons why I liked that little bit in Neko Majin where we see Oob training at Goku's home. Maybe on the way to Oob's island he realized, "Hey! I got a house, too! Duh!" and came home. Sounds like Goku to me! Then again, this is probably just me trying to find what little merit I can in the series' ending, but hey, I'm sure we all do that when a series we love ends in a way that we're not too fond of. Anyways, Happy Fathers Day to all the dads of Kanzenshuu and beyond!

Great stuff.
