Fooling around with the first radio DJ

Dean and Jerry are fooling around with Martin Block, who is considered to be the first DJ in radio history.

Some say that the same term of “disk jockey” was invented in the 30s to describe what Block was doing in the show Make Believe Ballroom.

Poor Jerry is crying over a broken record, but Dean and Mr Block are there to comfort him 😄
