LAUNCH: How long did it take to come up with the name Blink 182? How did you come up with the "182" part?
MARK: I think it was two years. We had to change the name two years after the band was formed. We originally were called Blink. This sh-tty techno band from Ireland called and said, "We're called Blink and you have to change your name." So we added the 182 for no reason. It means nothing. Tom always makes up stories about what it means, but I'll rat him out right now. It means nothing.
