Second born of the Llewellyn brood, it was almost like Reginald Llewellyn was sent to test everything his parents had thought they knew about parenthood. As soon as he could walk, he could run headfirst (literally, on several occasions) into danger. As soon as he could talk, he could spin a yarn. He had a big imagination and an even bigger penchant for exaggerating when he knew he would be rewarded with attention for it.Β
Where his parents and his older brother were academically gifted, Reggie was just loud. He liked to make a racket and to cause one, and he never stuck to a hobby for longer than a month. Drums lasted three weeks, football lasted two, karate made it three and a half weeks.Β
His parents always found his everchanging whims charming, though his teacherβs rarely agreed. Reggie embodied the word average as a student, never excelling but not failing outright either. From reception right up to Year 8, he carved out a place for himself as the class clown, gaining frequent reprimands and trips to isolation from his teachers. The move from Cardiff to Aurora Bay hadnβt helped much in that department, he was exactly the same from middle school and all through high school.Β
When the time came to start seriously considering college and what kind of life he wanted for himself after it, Reggie opted to take a gap year. That was how he found himself as a holiday rep in Ibiza from ages 18 to 22, with one year stretched into four in what felt like the blink of an eye, he knew that his promise to his mother that he would get a degree was just like half the things he said β empty air. He decided to travel instead, working odd jobs and making his way through central Europe on a series of trains.Β
By 24, he was trekking through Asia and supporting himself in much the same way. By 26, he was Australia bound. He spent a year and a half down under, living with his then best friend Street Smith, a California native he had met while doing necessary farm work to keep his visa. It was in a bar in Sydney in December 2018 where Reggieβs smart mouth finally caught up with him and a disagreement over a pool table turned violent. After hurling some insults at the Aussie who he had exchanged words with, he ended up getting jumped in the alley beside the bar while trying to stumble his way to an Uber, which resulted in a scar on his right cheek from being bottled and lingering issues with headaches stemming from a concussion he got during the incident.Β
That was the first and only Christmas back at Aurora Bay with his family Reggie ever missed.Β
Rattled in the aftermath, Reggie was forced to take stock of his life so far and whether he had really made anything of it. Living in the moment had always been where he was most comfortable, but the carelessness he usually exhibited was frayed by a genuine fear experienced during the attack that he might not see the next one.Β
Deciding to move back stateside, he and Street split rent on a shared room in Los Angeles where they spent time mulling what to do next. Over the years, both had amassed a decent following on their respective Instagrams from their travels, and the combination of the two of them sent both their engagements skyrocketing.Β
After creating a successful dual TikTok account in 2020, they decided to listen to their audienceβs demands and began to work on a podcast together. FaceTime Your Mom was an instant hit, the name serving a play on the fact both of them had been terrible at keeping up with their families when they had been solo travelers. Clipped versions of the YouTube recording of their podcast went viral from time to time, and everything seemed to be on the up for the pair.Β
That was until their bust up in 2023, when Reggie walked out mid-recording of an episode of FYM and never came back. Street had wanted to recount what happened in Sydney as a storytime on an episode for months by then and each time Reggie refused and when he was blindsided with a mention of it mid-episode about an entirely different topic, he ended the podcast and the friendship then and there.Β
Faced with uncertainty that was entirely his own doing, Reggie decided his best course of action was to go home. He showed up in Aurora Bay for Thanksgiving 2023 and hasnβt left since. He briefly crashed at his parents before finding his own digs in Seabrook with his best friend Fletcher, and heβs recently started a new gig as the late night host forΒ 100.3 Pirate radio.
PERSONALITY.
+ goofy, adventurous, spontaneous.
- indecisive, scattered, unreliable.
FUN ADJACENT FACTS.
FaceTime Your Momβs vibe pre it ending was very The Basement Yard vibes aka two dumb bitches just telling each other exactlyyyyy except into a podcast mic JSHGFSGHJ
every episode ended with βand donβt forget, FaceTime your momβ
the intro of it was a snippet of a deliberately shoddy and slightly more upbeat cover ofΒ Facetime with my Mom (Tonight) by Bo BurnhamΒ recorded by Reggie and Street. They promised a full cover for the 200th episode but the podcast didnβt get that far
Was officially diagnosed with ADHD at 31, though anyone who knew him well could have told him that just by being around him.
The Nald was Reggieβs short lived rap name. He uploaded to soundcloud for three months at 17 and heβs haunted by his digital footprint ever since.
Put on a pair of crocs for the first time and never looked back. Got the name Dundee from how often he wears them.
Absolutely loves a fun croc jibbitz
Is the absolute worst when it comes to keeping in contact. Loses his phone often, will reach out on strange numbers when he gets a replacement one.
Terrible texter.
Excess energy to the max, gets very restless if he has to be still for too long.
Has a bunch of tattoos from his travels.
A chancer through and through, has worked a bunch of jobs heβs completely unqualified for because he can talk the talk and it gets him everywhere.
Lies about the origin of his facial scar because he doesnβt like to talk about what happened to him. It ranges from plausible (took a spill in someoneβs kitchen on a drunken night and hit the counter edge) to absurd (got side-swapped by a bear, you should see the bear).
Has found a way to survive on 5 hours sleep a night, far from ideal but since his attack he finds it difficult to drift off unless heβs exhausted or baked.
His party trick is perfectly pronouncing llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllanty (longest town name in wales). itβs where his welsh fluency starts and ends.
truly believes wales will win a world cup in his lifetime (delulu)
his favorite song is Want That Old Thing Back by The Notorious B.I.G
had a mohawk for 2 weeks in 2022
