Game talk that happily takes the long way.
3v0 Podcast follows Jordan and Brendan through games they love, games that test them, and side roads that somehow become the point. Reviews sit beside personal check-ins, wrestling talk, politics, nostalgia, and long, funny arguments about what makes play feel good.

3v0 Podcast is a two-person gaming show built around Jordan and Brendan talking their way into why certain games stick. It is casual on purpose. Episodes often begin with check-ins, side stories, and joke momentum before the named topic settles into view. Once it does, the show can get surprisingly granular. Resident Evil Village becomes a conversation about linear design, exploration, puzzle-box structure, and the difference between optional searching and story-altering choice. Console talk turns into a run through PS1, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, Super Mario 64, graphical limits, and the cleverness of early 3D problem solving. Dispatch gets treated with open excitement. Silksong shows up as both admiration and a boundary-setting exercise. The Filthy Casuals format gives Jordan and Brendan space for broader claims, like which genres feel stagnant or which franchises might be better off ending. They do not keep the walls tight around video games. Professional wrestling appears as a sincere tangent about athleticism and soap-opera drama. A music festival story leads into the energy around seeing Panic at the Disco. Political frustration also enters the room, bluntly and directly, especially around ICE, Palestine, Trump, and voting. Those moments make the show feel personal rather than sealed inside a hobby bubble. The dynamic works because the two speakers can wander without losing each other. One can build a long example; the other can interrupt, clarify, agree, or poke at the premise. The tone is friendly, amused, and occasionally exasperated. It is also openly nerdy in the most literal sense: game systems, mechanics, memories, difficulty spikes, remakes, and character relationships all receive the kind of attention usually reserved for things people genuinely care about. 3v0 Podcast is not polished gaming journalism, and that is not the point. It is closer to sitting near two friends who have already been arguing about the topic off-mic and are now letting the audience hear the good part.
Made for: Built for players who enjoy conversational game criticism, nostalgia, design talk, and side tangents that still circle back to the controller. It especially suits fans who like personality-forward discussion more than tightly scripted reviews.
What sets it apart: Jordan and Brendan treat games as social objects, not just products to rate. Their best moments come from the mix of mechanical detail, personal stories, comic repetition, and the willingness to let wrestling, music, politics, or memory complicate the topic.
3v0 is a podcast that is all about sharing our love of video games! Hosts Jordan and Brenden take the audience through their favorite parts of various games and cultivate an environment that is positive and open to all.

The episode frames Resident Evil Village as a conversational stop more than a formal verdict. It lingers on why the linear structure works, how its spaces still invite searching, and where it sits beside Resident Evil 1 and 7.
A loose, nostalgic console-era conversation that settles into a strong stretch on Super Mario 64.
The hosts move from the PS1 to the Nintendo 64 and Dreamcast by way of the systems they owned and the ones they never got around to. The best stretch lands on Super Mario 64, where they focus on the jump into 3D, the open-world feel, the way the visuals work within the era's…
