"EP Phone Home" is an EP by the Orange County, California rock band Home Grown, released in 1999 by Outpost Recordings. It was the band's first recording with guitarist Justin Poyser, who replaced Ian Cone the previous year.

In between some of the tracks there are brief "joke" songs of only a few chords with the lyrics "This song is only _ seconds long." Between "This Way" and "Sixteen" there is a 5-second song, between "Giving Up" and "No Way Out" there is a 6-second one, and after "No Way Out" a 1-second one. Also "hidden" shortly after this 1-second song are takes of the band trying to record these joke songs.
