Have you watched the new Netflix series The Way of the Househusband? It's a hilarious premise with some great bits, even with the sketchy animation throwing people off. But, more importantly, can we learn how to be better people from it? Nerd Pastor Nate presents his argument for why Tatsu is better at transformation than pretty much any Christian that he knows - and maybe we should all strive to be a bit more absurd with our lives.

If you're not familiar, scalping is a process by which someone buys something with the purpose of draining the market and selling at a profit. It's a real problem in the gaming community and it's finally gotten to the point that we had to say something. So... how would Jesus react to scalping? Why should we care?
