>>349358Stern was an ambitious and talented entertainer who was also a control freak and he also cared about building his brand as much as possible.
Opie & Anthony, together, had that combination of traits, but not like Stern did. Opie was just as much of an ambitious control freak as Stern, but he had no talent. He was awkward and annoying, especially on camera. Anthony was even more talented than Stern, but he had no ambition. He was content with what he had and had no interest in aiming for anything more, especially anything that might put his extravagant lifestyle at risk. And to top it all off, he that characteristic Italian work ethic.
In spite of all that, O&A could still have made it work if they could have figured out a way to work together. Instead they hated each other and wanted to spend as little time together as possible.
