April 1st isn't just for pranksters—it's for historians with a wicked sense of humor.

In this episode, Dave peels back the glittery nonsense of April Fools’ Day to uncover its shadowy (and often fictional) past. From Chaucer’s chicken to a Flemish prank poem, and the legendary hoax that duped the Associated Press, it all leads to one irresistible conclusion: we should be calling it Boskin Day.

Tune in for history, hilarity, and a few paper fish stuck to your back. Trust nothing. Laugh anyway.

Today on Dave does History on Bill Mick Live, we head back to 1805 for one of the most dramatic courtroom showdowns in American history—except this trial did not involve a criminal, it involved a Supreme Court Justice.

Samuel Chase, a signer of the Declaration and a fiery Federalist, was impeached by Jefferson’s allies for turning his courtroom into a political soapbox. Was it a righteous reckoning or a political hit job?

We unpack the politics, the personalities, and the precedent that his acquittal set—one that still protects the bench from becoming a branch of partisan payback.

Today on Dave Does History on Bill Mick Live, we’re diving into the life, legacy, and legend of one of America’s most peculiar presidents—Grover Cleveland.

You might not think much about the man who was both the 22nd and 24th president of the United States, but Cleveland was one of the most unique and controversial figures to ever occupy the White House.

Born on this day in 1837, he was the first president to serve two nonconsecutive terms—booted out of office in 1888, only to claw his way back four years later. But his presidency was more than just an interesting footnote in history books.
