Here's Who Made the Howard Noine in 2025

All December long, the Stern Show is revealing the Howard Noine — nine people who impacted Howard’s universe in 2025. From Tan Mom and Thai Ladyboys to Oz the Mentalist and Jeff the Vomit Guy, everyone is fair game.

Check out all the names as soon as they’re revealed (below).

1. Ladyboys

No one’s having a bigger moment right now than Thai Ladyboys, at least as far as Howard’s Instagram algorithm is concerned. According to the Stern Show fact checkers, the King of All Media mentioned Ladyboys in 30 percent of all his 2025 shows. So, to honor these wonderful women, Stern Show executive producer Gary Dell’Abate’s alter ego, Flirty Gary, got down and dirty with two Ladyboys from Thailand named Taylor and Rita.

2. Ronnie Mund and Mike Pearlman

The feud between Ronnie “the Limo Driver” Mund and staffer Mike Pearlman is the gift that keeps on giving. Ronnie first took Pearlman to task in 2019 for allegedly messing with his bagel, but instead of making amends the rift between them has only grown wider. In 2025, the two argued on air more than ever.

Now, to celebrate their entry into the Howard Noine, the two staffers have been asked to apply for the same job so a real-life HR executive can determine which is more hirable in the real world.

3. Oz “the Mentalist” Pearlman and Beth Stern

Oz Pearlman has blown Howard’s mind at several different points over the years, from his impressive appearances on “America’s Got Talent” to his Stern Show debut in 2024, where he guessed the secret word actress Valerie Harper had shared with Howard shortly before her passing.

But Oz took things to another level on Wednesday when he returned to the Stern Show to dazzle listeners with an all-new feat that saw him read Howard, his wife Beth, and a litany of on-air staffers ranging Richard Christy and JD Harmeyer to a completely shellshocked Gary Dell’Abate. Watch the full special (above).

4. Jeff the Vomit Guy

No one likes throw up like Jeff the Vomit Guy loves throw up, and in 2025 the Stern Show is finally throwing up its hands in the air to celebrate the vomit-loving Wack Packer by officially inducting him into the Howard Noine.

It’s been a big year for Jeff, who taught listeners plenty about his vomit fetish when he opened up in a therapy session. He also opened up the doors to his home, inviting staffer Chris Wilding and Stern Show correspondent Wolfie into his apartment for what can only be described as a vomit-inducing field piece.
