Building off of Fun Fact #479, there are a couple of interesting additional real-life details used in the depictions of guest stars in Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?. In "Revenge of the Swamp Monster!", Chris Paul brings up bowling as one of the activities he does quite a bit to promote healthy activities for children. While this may seem like a trivial detail thrown in, Chris Paul actually has his own bowling team based in Los Angeles that he formed in real-life, named LAX. He decided to form this team because he fondly remembered bowling regularly with his father during childhood, after getting a bowling ball for Christmas. Chris's charity work mentioned in the episode is also based on real-life details. Chris regularly holds bowling tournaments for charity, and is the owner of the Chris Paul Family Foundation. You can read more information about Chris's interest in bowling and his charity in this Yahoo article.
Jason Sudeikis being a sneakerhead in "Lost Soles of Jungle River!" is also an aspect of Jason's real-life. According to People Magazine, Jason currently owns 250 different pairs of sneakers and considers himself a shoe collector. Velma mentions in "A Moveable Mystery!" that she has met Gigi Hadid before, because they took a Criminal Psychology course together in school. In real life, Gigi majored in Criminal Psychology when she went to college at The New School, according to Elle. However, she dropped out of school after her first year when she became a model. Thanks to Shadowscooby for suggesting this week's fun fact idea!

Happy new year. I’m happy to see that you posted about those real life celebrity facts. Just out of curiosity, are you going to post the other real life celebrity facts in the future. Of course the ones that were really surprising not so much of the the obvious.

I just never understood why the episode was called "Revenge of the Swamp Monster," when there was no context given for what the revenge was supposed to be for. It's just an angry growling swamp monster.

I've always been bothered by that too. I guess either the plot was originally different, or they picked a random "scary" word lol.
