Ester’s 91-year-old grandmother has a review of her comedy: “You are nasty.” Naturally, she then shows up for the set.

This week on Against His Will with Noah and Ester, a family dinner at the Wynn Buffet turns into a referendum on Ester’s material, Noah survives a table full of crab legs, and someone attempts to smuggle cookies out in a pharmaceutical bag. Plus: a Vegas marriage scam, football-season negotiations, and Ester’s attempt at clean comedy—which immediately falls apart.

Married comedians Noah Gardenswartz and Ester Steinberg talk marriage, parenting, stand-up, and life in Las Vegas, with plenty of unsolicited feedback from each other.

This week, Ester loses a fight with a loaf of bread in her mom's house and Noah offers a medical opinion based on absolutely no examination. Ester also attempts to motivate herself with new jeans, only to watch a friend buy them while her screenplay remains unwritten. A productive day for the friend.

We talk Sebastian Maniscalco show at the Wynn and admire what happens when people come specifically to see you. Then we discuss a mechanical penis lawsuit and a showgirl altercation, because...Vegas

A questionable creative breakthrough, an unexpected Vegas career move, and a family dinner with very high stakes. Noah and Ester unpack another week of marriage, comedy, and questionable decisions—then head to the Jokeyard, where even a compliment comes with notes.

Against His Will. He’s still here.

Nothing humbles a comedian faster than someone saying, “You’re so brave.”

This week, Ester and Noah recap a comedy weekend in Vegas that had them questioning everything—including whether commercial real estate might be a better career. Plus: the one word that shocked a Jewish charity crowd, why Noah apparently needs his wife’s permission to buy glasses, and how Ester convinced their kid that “Halloween cucumbers” were a treat.

We also get into career spirals, being happy your partner bombed too, a $32,000 Vegas hotel-room robbery story, and AI comedians with better butts than jokes.

This week, Noah reveals that Ester’s Lana Del Rey playlist is more accurate than a period-tracking app—and the conversation only gets more unhinged from there.

Ester confesses to smoking again after months off w33d, Noah reveals what happened when intermittent fasting met hot fudge, and the couple investigates Ester’s newest coping mechanism: online shopping in the name of abundance.

Then Noah channels an Israeli action hero to chase partying teenagers away from the house, Ester gets flagged by Facebook for alleged “nudity,” and they debate whether Oprah’s newly announced Aha! experience at the Las Vegas Sphere will cost more than a small car.

Also in this episode: Noah enters dangerous territory with a WNBA-versus-men basketball debate, the kids learn to trash-talk Team France, an old dating story resurfaces, and Noah and Ester workshop jokes about self-centered mothers and teenage “child labor.”

It’s marriage, parenting, sports, Vegas, comedy, questionable financial decisions, and one possible title for Noah’s next special that absolutely cannot be printed here. Except it can: Foreskin.

This week, Ester and Noah recap a wildly eventful few days—from performing for a sold-out crowd in Dallas and discovering incredible Ethiopian food at Desta to seeing Hasan Minhaj and Ronny Chieng’s comedy show in Las Vegas.

Then, things get truly chaotic at the Usher and Chris Brown concert: surprise shrooms, an intense mid-show research project, Usher’s legendary red-leather entrance, a late-night health spiral, and an onion-ring crunch that nearly ends it all.

Plus, Ester’s new hair and beloved pleather pants, her campaign to bring Sweetgreen to Vegas, unsolicited health coaching, questionable comedy competitions, and a behind-the-scenes look at how they workshop jokes.

This week, Ester and Noah revisit the beautiful nightmare that was their New York City era—from brutal tour-guide shifts and L train breakdowns to an apartment surrounded by crackheads, nonstop barking, mystery beeping, and a laundry-room squatter. They also debate what “camp” means at a gay wedding, swapping shoes with a stranger, football-season resentment, internet trolls, risky old jokes, and why Christian Instagram keeps discovering—and immediately unfollowing—Noah.

Plus, a family trip to Lake Mead takes a very Vegas turn when human remains appear near the shore. Apparently, “Let’s go to the lake” really can be a threat.
