If i have zmud capture say
gossips '(*) and have it #CAP gossip
what if i want the time in the capture windows right after the gossip?

I tried #CAP gossip %time but it captures the gossip, and puts time on the next line, then the next gossip it adds under the previous gossip, and time on the last line....is there a way to do that which what i was considering?

Yep, there's a few ways you can do this:

1)put a capture-everything trigger in the settings file for the Gossip window (a pattern of (*) or (%*), depending on which one you need). I'd advise against this particular trigger, but the same concept applies here as in a more specific one.

#trigger {(*)} {#sub {%1 %time("hh:nn:ss AMPM")}}

2)Use a different capture method than #CAPTURE. #WINDOW should work quite nicely for what you have in mind, as should the near-equivalent :windowname:text format.

#trigger {gossips '(*)} {#window gossip {%1 %time("hh:nn:ss AMPM")}}

#trigger {gossips '(*)} {:gossip:%1 %time("hh:nn:ss AMPM")}
