Do you have a say in the editing of your reality show?
HAIM: We have a say in everything.
FELDMAN: We're [executive producers] on the show, so we have a lot of creative input. Obviously, at the end of the day, the network makes all the final calls.
HAIM: If there's something I hate, I'll say something.
FELDMAN: As an entertainer, a comedy guy, whatever, you're never gonna be truly 100 percent happy with anything. But in the aspect of trying to blend the worlds of reality and non-reality and do a show that's entertaining, that you think people will enjoy, we're really pleased with the outcome.

What other great moments can we look forward to?
FELDMAN: The smoking episode is a lot of fun.
HAIM: We get to see Corey's band [The Truth Movement] perform.
FELDMAN: Corey's whole Lost Boys moment — that to me is one of the most moving things every put on television.
HAIM: Ix-nay on the Lost Boys-ay.

That's the episode I was sent. I wanted to ask about that moment [in which Feldman has to tell Haim that Warner Bros. is doing a straight-to-DVD Lost Boys sequel — and that he won't be in it].
HAIM: I'm sorry, you saw me crying. I don't mean to be like a wussy. It was one of my favorite times in life....
FELDMAN: One of the things that makes that episode great is you get to see the honest friendship and raw emotion between us. And again, that blurred line between non-reality and reality becomes even more blurred because that moment is so real.
HAIM: Girl, they're gonna think I'm such a wussy. God.
FELDMAN: They all love a softy, come on.

You just care about something deeply.
HAIM: I love The Lost Boys more than any movie I've ever done, and it hooked me up with my brother who we're talkin' to right now. It was a pivotal, pivotal point in my life, so it caught me very, very, very off guard to hear that after doing 20 years of signings and appearances for Lost Boys, it will not be reproduced with the same people. It hurts, and as you saw, Corey didn't want to hurt me and so he didn't know how to actually tell me. He was man enough to go, ''Hey, sit down, man.'' So, thanks, kid.
FELDMAN: Well, you're welcome. Thanks for taking it like a man.
HAIM: No problem, man. Please, next time use K-Y.
[Both laugh]
FELDMAN: We've been known to periodically take it up the a-- throughout our careers, and well, what better evidence of that than Episode 2. It's all for the better good. We've grown, and we've learned, and it's all a process, as it is for everybody.

What would you say to people like Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears, who are still learning? What would your lives have been like 15 or 20 years ago if you had to worry about more than Teen Beat digging up dirt?
FELDMAN: Corey and I have been the brunt of many a joke and many a slam, and if we didn't have rhino skin we wouldn't be alive today due to all of the terrible things that people have said about us through the years. Teen magazines we're always pretty even-handed because they didn't want to slam the people they were promoting. It was more the People magazine, the Star magazine. I think Entertainment Weekly has been responsible for a few—
HAIM: Billion. [Both laugh] As far as drugs and stuff, I have no comment.
FELDMAN: People ask us all the time, what would you say to these kids, and what I say is: I think it's completely natural for kids to make mistakes and learn lessons from those mistakes. But for people to sit there and dissect it and talk s--- and parade other people's problems around, I think that's the sickness. If anything needs to get fixed in society, it's people's consumption of other people's problems. We're all made to make mistakes, nobody's perfect.
HAIM: I've been perfect all of my life. [Both laugh]
FELDMAN: Besides Corey Haim.
