Biggest Problem in the Universe

The Biggest Problem in the Universe began in 2014 as a debate podcast hosted by Maddox (George Ouzounian) and Dick Masterson (Dax Herrera), where they would each present what they considered the biggest problem in the universe and argue why theirs was worse. Known for its provocative humor and often intense discussions, the show garnered a significant following before its abrupt end in May 2016 due to a severe personal and professional fallout between the hosts. Following the original podcast's demise, the ensuing drama became legendary within the "dabbleverse"—a community of podcasts and content creators centered around commentary and critique, notably stemming from the "Who Are These Podcasts" ecosystem. Maddox's redirection of the original iTunes feed to his new podcast, "The Best Debate in the Universe," and a protracted legal battle (the "LOLsuit") against Dick Masterson and others, solidified the podcast's controversial legacy. A new iteration of The Biggest Problem in the Universe, hosted by Dick Masterson and Vito Gesualdi, emerged later, continuing the spirit of irreverent debate, albeit with different dynamics, and is a prominent fixture in the dabbleverse.
