The text appears to be a transcript of a video or podcast episode discussing the character Professor Elvin Gadd from the Mario series. The host of the episode, who is referred to as "the chaotic neutral of internet web shows", discusses how Professor Gadd, despite being a character who provides Mario and his friends with various inventions, is actually a villain who is responsible for creating chaos and conflict in the Mushroom Kingdom.
The host argues that Professor Gadd is not just a neutral character but is actively undermining the good guys from the shadows for his own benefit. He points out that Professor Gadd's inventions are often used by the bad guys, and he even suggests that Professor Gadd might have been the one who created the ghosts in Luigi's Mansion.
The host also suggests that Professor Gadd is more interested in money than in helping the good guys. He points out that Professor Gadd has been shown to be willing to sell his inventions to both the good guys and the bad guys, and that he even has an invention that doubles the amount of money earned after a battle.
The host concludes by asking his audience if they think Professor Gadd is truly evil. He also encourages his audience to subscribe to his channel and vote on whether or not Professor Gadd is evil.
