Josh: It's a number with one extra digit. It was just in there, but then I was thinking I can't put a real number in the song. I don't want someone calling it either, but I had to leave it. So it's a whole phone number, with one extra digit stashed in there. That's cool, man. You're the first person whose ever asked me that question. It's a bad number though.
