gollark: Hmm, yes, interesting idea.

gollark: Anyway, the IRC bridge picks up messages from the IRC "network" I run with two other people for arbitrary reasons, and posts them to a channel. "Epicbot" posts the messages from that bridge channel into the channel which can do outgoing "phone" calls, and those are then relayed to another test server.
