Johnnie and David Hepworth listen to two 1970s West Coast blockbusters - Hotel California and Fleetwood Mac.
Both changed the fortunes of the bands, ultimately causing The Eagles heartache, which would lead to their break up, over a money making follow up.
Things were better for Fleetwood Mac - making the new American members (of the previously mostly British Blues group) grateful that they could give up their day jobs forever (without playing a single note at an audition) and paved the way, after much hard work, for success beyond their wildest dreams.
They hear archive from Glenn Frey, Christine McVie, Mick Fleetwood and Stevie Nicks.
David mentions he simply had to both leave and check out of the Beverley Hills Hotel, where the Eagles sneakily captured a cover photo and discovers the true inspiration for Rhiannon and how Fleetwood Mac, with their ninth line up in eight years, got a second chance, in a business which rarely gives you any hope.
