The Goss

**The Goss** refers to the ongoing feud between Maddox and Dick. Though initially a tiff between ex-collaborators, the goss has since grown to include comedians, YouTubers, musicians, artists, innocent bystanders, podcasters, lawyers, and many more. This page will provide the timeline of goss starting from the dissolution of *The Biggest Problem in the Universe* until the present day. New additions to the story are often referred to as "Hot Goss" by Dick.
