Scheana Shayis looking back on some of her noteworthy Hollywood memories.

On the Friday, Dec. 13 episode of her podcastScheananigans,Shay, 39, talked about how she and her friends would spend their weekends in their 20s when she first moved to Los Angeles. Part of the routine they created even involved some major celebrities as her friend was datingJesse Bradford, theVanderpump Rulesstar said.

“[Bradford],Ryan Phillippe,Breckin Meyer, they had this boys group and every Thursday, they would do a boy’s dinner and then go out to the club,” she explained. “And so we were like, ‘Well, we’re just gonna do a girl’s dinner since we were only invited to the club.’ And so we started doing a broke girls dinner at Dan Tanas where we would literally have one glass of wine and split a pasta — 22, 23-year-old Scheana could not afford the full entrée.”

She went on to say that she made friends with the maître d’ of the famous restaurant and he would save a two-top table for them every Thursday.

“It was iconic,” she joked. “Sometimes I’m surprised at how much I remember from those years because I feel like there’s also years of my life where I have no memories.”

Phillippe, who was married toReese Witherspoonfrom 1999 until 2008, was a particularly close friend of Shay’s in her 20s. She noted that while “he was single during the times that we were all hanging out,” nothing romantic ever happened between them.

“We did not hook up, [but] there was a sleepover,” she claimed. “But we did not hook up. No. We were just friends.”
