In a sneak peak of an episode, Flavin accused ‘Sly’ of being the “ultimate dinner grump.” The allegations came to light when Stallone made a remark about listening, stating, “When you listen to someone and that person says, ‘What did I say?’ That’s not listening, so he’s parroting like ‘Polly want a cracker.'”

Flavin, frustrated with Stallone’s behavior, responded by telling him, “‘Sly, you’re being the ultimate dinner grump right now. Lighten up and drink some wine.” These words, seemingly uttered in jest, shed light on a dynamic that many couples can relate to – the occasional clash of moods during mealtime. This seemingly wholehearted yet mocking jibe was the perfect way to encapsulate the Stallone family’s conversations at their dinner table. In addition, fans will be getting more of this as the show will provide a lot more insight into Sly’s personal life. While many have criticized Stallone for taking up a reality show, he feels its a resurgence for him at this age.

“Because a lot of times people say, ‘Oh reality TV?’ and, you know, ‘Does he need a job or something? I’m feeling I have this resurgence go on. My time for this will show me, what it’s like, not when you’re Oprah or retired. It’s the ultimate home movie, I’ll say.” he said
