.

Dave and Me is a gritty, laugh-out-loud memoir that captures the essence of lifelong friendship with brutal honesty and irreverent humor. Rusty Austin doesn’t romanticize the past; instead, he recreates it exactly as it was – messy, reckless, absurd, and deeply human. Through episodic storytelling, the book reads like a series of unforgettable bar stories that somehow carry real emotional weight beneath the laughter.

What makes the book stand out is its voice. The narration feels unfiltered and conversational, pulling readers directly into moments of lightning strikes on golf courses, doomed betting systems at the racetrack, and misadventures fueled by youth, bravado, and poor judgment. Austin’s writing reflects the authenticity of the era, the friendship, and the personalities involved.

At its core, Dave and Me is a love letter to a best friend who is no longer around. Beneath the chaos and comedy lies a quiet grief that sneaks up on the reader. The book reminds us that the most meaningful relationships are often built not on grand gestures, but on shared stupidity, loyalty, etc.
