Chatted with My Boys star Jordana Spiro this week about her show, which returns to TBS this Sunday (Jul. 25) with its fourth season.

Here are some highlights from our interview:

— Ping Pong is the current obsession on the set of My Boys among Jordana’s male co-stars. Last year it was foosball, but now ping pong rules all. The guys play for hours on end and it gets so intense, wardrobe makes them wear special “play clothes” so they don’t sweat through their good outfits before filming. Jordana, trying to be one of the guys, tries to hang for as long as she can but after a few hours, she gets bored and has to quit ping pong.

— There are a lot of flashbacks in the first few new episodes of My Boys this season, mostly to the late ’90s. Of those times, Jordana fondly remembers mini backpacks, plaid shirts, and everything Kennedy, the VJ from MTV used to wear. Jordana was weirdly obsessed with Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam too back in the ’90s, and remembers becoming a vegetarian just because the singer was on a no-meat kick. She recalls thinking that if she didn’t eat chicken, maybe then Vedder would love her too.

Weird. I had the same dream about Scott Wolf from Party Of Five in the ’90s. Could’ve sworn he’d love me one day. Then he went and married that chick from the Real World and crushed my heart into pieces. Damn you, Bailey.
