Jesse's History: Jesse has an older brother by about, oh, say, 7 years I think. Because of this Jesse was always exposed to MTV and never really was turned away from it. Up till last year Jesse had a poster of Marky Mark on his wall. He even still has an old, crummy poster of Slash of Guns 'n Roses on his wall.
How Jesse and Ronan got together: Well, really Jesse and Ronan have known each other since like preschool, sorta. It wasn1t 'till 2nd grade they really started doing stuff. They both took an interest in a book series, "Cam Janson." Ugh, it brings back bad memories. Well, Ronan's impressions of Jesse was this kid who had this whole different kinda life, sorta a curiosity, That's what Jesse thought of Ronan. Probably an easy target. You have to remember up to that time, Ronan was a brain child, someone who didn't get a single joke, and thought MTV was the antichrist.
How Ronan started to watch MTV: Well, on our cable service the order of channels is this:
.....32: TNN, 33: ESPN, 34: Comedy Central, 35: VH1, 36: MTV......
Well, for some odd reason Ronan thought 34, 35, and 36 (Comedy Central, VH1, and MTV) were all the same channel. Okay, now Ronan started to watch Comedy Central stand up. I mean lots of it because of Jesse was able to get more of the jokes because he had a better grasp of reality. Well, sometimes during the commercials on Comedy Central Ronan would flip up through the channels, to VH1. First step complete: Now Ronan watchs VH1 sometimes, still very rarely. Well, eventually Ronan watch both Comedy Central and VH1. Also, since VH1 would play the same thing as MTV so Ronan found himself watching MTV. It was complete, Ronan had broken away from the antichrist idea to a better reality.
So where are we now?: Ronan watches MTV and VH1. Mainly VH1 because his Mom won't freak out as much and they play cooler stuff. He's pretty much stopped watching Comedy Central as much as he used to because it isn't as good as it used to be.
Jesse still has the old pictures of his previous life. He watches more VH1 than MTV because, well, for the same reason Ronan doesn't. Together Ronan and Jesse like pretty much like the same music stuff.
