Conspiratorial Comedy Podcaster Accuses Shane Gillis of Being A CIA Asset
Shane Gillis may have not-so-secret ties to the Central Intelligence Agency, which would explain why he’s such a big fan of Al Qaeda.
According to a considerably sized corner of the comedy podcasting community, every A-list entertainer in America besides Joe Rogan has deep ties to shady, degenerate, world-controlling organizations, government or otherwise. While the Manosphere may look the other way every time they see pictures of Elon Musk getting wasted with Ghislaine Maxwell and cover their ears when Trump tells New York Magazine that he loves Jeffrey Epstein and his taste for young girls, nothing gets past professional podcasters when they see a paper-thin or entirely imagined connection between a popular artist and an international pedophile ring, a secretive globalist society or a three-letter agency that Musk is currently taking over.

As such, when Andrew “Spud” Pacella of the War Mode podcast discovered that his friend and former guest Gillis has just two degrees of separation from a former CIA director earlier this month, the strings Spud connected between Gillis, Notre Dame, Bud Light, the Super Bowl and the Shadow Government sent the vaguely conservative comedy podcasting community into a tinfoil-hatted tailspin:
“The military and the CIA are way invested in the Super Bowl. They’re way invested in the NFL. You’d be an idiot to think they aren’t,” Spud stated plainly. As anyone who watched NFL or NCAA football in the most recent season knows well, Gillis is now a central figure in football’s psyops — sorry, advertising campaigns, having appeared in numerous commercials hawking the aggressively rebranding Bud Light or supporting his Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Although Gillis is a friend of War Mode, given that co-host Billy McCusker is the brother of Gillis’ own podcasting partner Matt, Spud isn’t about to take Gillis’ participation in the annual athletics indoctrination cycle at face value.
Spud continued, “The head of the CIA right now, the new head of the CIA, he went to Notre Dame, okay? But the dude that was the head of the CIA before him went to Trinity High School with (Shane’s father) Phil Gillis. The guy who is the CEO of Bud Light was in the CIA.”
As many comedy fans pointed out online in the aftermath of the War Mode episode, Spud is correct, so far — Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth did work for the CIA in the early 2000s before getting his MBA, and the senior Gillis was a high school classmate of former CIA director William J. Burns.
“I have heart palpitations,” Spud admitted. But it doesn’t stop there — the younger Gillis briefly attended the United States Military Academy in West Point, and, while the comic dropped out in just his freshman year, it doesn’t even take a semester to become compromised. Said Spud, “Intelligence — there’s a lot of people from West Point that are intelligence. There are a lot of people that are in entertainment that are intelligence. USAID was paying all these people money to do shit.”
“Why do you think the guy that used to work at the CIA goes to Budweiser?” Spud asked. “He knows there’s a bunch of tranny (sic) money on the table, he’ll take it! Who cares? He’ll go get Shane Gillis!”
“So, I mean, at this point,” Spud concludes, “Shane’s an asset, at this point!”
While Spud would quickly back off of the accusation at (possible fellow asset) McCusker’s insistence that he had “gone too far,” he does raise some good questions. For instance, if Gillis is a CIA asset and Lorne Michaels fired Gillis, does that mean that Saturday Night Live is actually fighting the deep state?
