I was like, okay, don't make the whole episode about this, but I do feel like we need to honor it.

So producer Ann Carley was formerly in the music industry.
She worked at Jive Records, which was Britney's record label.
Also NSYNC, Backstreet Boys.
Very early 2000s.

Oh my God, specifically for her?

No, same.
Wow.
So Clive Calder was the founder of Jive Records.
