This week on 2 Dudes and a NES, we're strapping on our golf gloves and, disappointingly, leaving our boxing gloves at home for "Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf." Yes, you heard it right – despite what the title might suggest, the only hooks and jabs happening here are against our egos when we miss that easy putt. Join us as we share oddly peaceful trivia, and wonder aloud why Lee Trevino isn't throwing uppercuts. We'll invent some "Retro-Fitted Trophies" that Lee himself would chuckle at, and rate t...

After a 3 month hiatus the 2 Dudes are back and they aren't talking about an NES game. OMG! What are these guys doing?

So sit back, relax, and enjoy some random chatter (along with a little "guess that game" talk)... or don't.
