The Virtue Men Have Stopped Practicing w/ Daniel Padrnos of Supra Dinner Society

Daniel Padrnos—co-founder of Supra Dinner Society and trained Tamada based in Seattle—joins Jason to explore the Georgian Supra: an ancient tradition of ritual feasting and toasting shaped by 1,700 years of Christian civilization in the Republic of Georgia. Daniel makes the case that hospitality is a distinctly masculine act and that the table your family already sits around is more powerful than you think.In This Episode, We Cover:What the Georgian Supra is—its origins, its structure, and the role of the Tamada as the host who sees every person at the table and draws out the best in themWhy ritual and shared etiquette don't constrain authentic encounter—they're the very conditions that make it possibleHow to give a good toast: what Daniel has learned from hundreds of Supras and from Georgian masters of the traditionThe toast as a theological act: what Josef Pieper's philosophy of affirmation reveals about why men raise a glassHow to bring the Supra into your home, your men's group, and your family table—and why it may recover a virtue men have abandonedChapters:00:00: Introduction01:47: The Tamada and the Marekipe03:57: "The Guest Is a Gift from God"06:16: Ritual as the Condition for Real Connection11:11: Inside a Supra: Themes, Structure, and Flow15:08: How to Give a Good Toast17:58: The Toast as Elevation and Affirmation27:20: Masculine Hospitality and the Tamada as Head40:20: Brotherhood, Family Supras, and Training Tamadas44:21: Leadership Means Pouring OutResources Mentioned:Supra Dinner SocietyFraternusJOIN 2500+ MEN READING SERIOUS, YET ACCESSIBLE ESSAYS ON VIRTUE, CULTURE, AND LIVING WELL: https://fraternus.org/sword-and-spade/Produced by Saint Kolbe Studios.
