BONUS: The AMPire Diaries Presents… Father Kieran Konfessional (2023 Edition) Hark! The herald AMPies sing. Oh yes, it is that time of year again, AMPies. Please, please, please: salute. Much like Ross and Rachel once were—though that will NEVER excuse Ross sleeping with another woman, like, an hour later—we are on an AMPire Diaries break. But you know who’s not on a break? You know who never sleeps? Musical artist P!NK. No, fuck. Wait. We meant to say The Originals character Father Kieran. Sure, he’s dead now. But he’s gone but not forgotten. And have you seen how hot Todd Stashwick is on Star Trek: Picard? Come on. Which is why it’s time for 2023’s much-anticipated Father Kieran Konfessional episode! What started as a way to gain intel from the AMPie Diaries’ Patreon (subscribe today!) Discord about whether they wanted to “SMASH” or “PASS” on The Originals’ Father Kieran (fatherkieran1@gmail.com) has now become a totally legit way for your AMPie Queens to absolve our AMPies of their sins. And trust us—y’all do a lot of sinning. Baby Jesus would be so proud of us. ***IMPORTANT BUT WEIRD TECHNOLOGY WARNING*** So, as you might notice as you listen, originally, this episode was somewhat marred by LaToya’s actual mic not being on up top. (So instead, you got computer audio.) But then, through the power of her amazing post-production skills, she was able to fix the issue… to the point that it never really sounded like there was an issue at all. But prior to that fix, LaToya had to edit in a bit. So please, just accept the bit. ***HORNY WARNING*** Oh yeah, we’re still naughty here. Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.
