Summary

Against His Will is what happens when a decade of nagging finally pays off—and a reluctant comedian husband is dragged into the podcast spotlight.

Hosted by married comedians Noah Gardenswartz and Ester Steinberg, the show is recorded from the comfort of their Las Vegas home. Delivered with sharp tongues and zero filter, it dives into the chaos of life on and off the stage—from brutally honest takes on the comedy grind to the kind of relationship banter that probably should’ve stayed private.

They break down bizarre Las Vegas headlines that feel too weird to be real (but somehow always are), and dig up old, abandoned jokes to see if there’s still life left in them—or if they deserve to stay buried forever.

It’s part comedy lab, part marriage therapy, and part “how did we get here?” energy. Whether you’re into stand-up, strange news, or just listening to two funny people lovingly roast each other, Against His Will delivers the kind of unfiltered humor that only comes from years of shared history—and one very persistent spouse.

    Battle of the Sexes and Taping a Special
    Apr 29 2026

    In this episode Noah discusses his special taping in Denver while Ester returns from Oklahoma for a Jewish gig. They get into the news about Megan thee Stallion and Klay Thompson and discuss their very different views on the topic while trying to remain civil. Joke yard is NSFW and some of the Vegas news is of course bizarre and drug related.

    Boat Party and Bombing Before a Taping
    Apr 22 2026

    In this episode, Noah is getting ready to film his special in Denver while Ester recaps her slightly unhinged run through Miami and a show in Gainesville. Noah is in a mood because he has to leave for an appointment Ester signed him up for, and the coffee situation in the house has recently taken a turn… not in his favor.

    Back in Vegas, we get into the WNBA, and in Joke Yard, we revisit a Morocco story that is both very funny and just a little bit gross in a way that lingers.
