Today's Divorce Story is with Pete Murphy or Murf, as he's known to his friends. Murf's story is incredibly powerful. It is a story about losing so much of what once felt certain: his family life, his identity, his sense of stability, and at times, his hope. But it is also a story about what can happen when people show up, when support is offered in a way that can actually be received, and when a man begins to rebuild from the inside out. In this conversation, Murf speaks openly about the moment he now recognises as rock bottom, lying in his driveway with police standing over him asking if he was okay. He shares what it felt like to be completely overwhelmed, to feel like there was no point getting back up again, and what it took to keep going. We talk about male grief, the way men are often conditioned to hide pain, and why so many men feel they have to carry separation alone. Murf also shares the daily practices that have helped him through some of the hardest days, including breathwork, meditation, journaling, self-reflection and learning how to create space between what happens and how he responds. This episode is not spoken from the finish line. Murf is still in the middle of his story. And that is what makes this conversation so important. In this episode, we discuss: What life looked like before everything changed Murf's rock bottom moment and what it felt like emotionally and physically Why men often struggle to speak openly about grief The shame and isolation many men experience during separation The importance of friendship, connection and people showing up Why accepting help is not weakness The difference between surrendering and giving up Rebuilding when the story is still unfolding How breathwork, journaling and daily practices helped Murf cope What not to say to someone going through separation Why listening is sometimes more powerful than trying to fix Murf's message for anyone listening, especially men, is simple but deeply important: you are not alone. You do not have to carry this by yourself. And accepting help is not failure, it can be the beginning of finding your way back.

Murf Gray has been one of the hottest hitters in the Pirates' minor league system, and on this week's Bucs On Deck, Jim and Anthony Murphy break down what makes his early pro performance so interesting. Gray, a competitive balance pick in last year's draft, is already showing an intriguing offensive profile in Bradenton with power, hard contact, strong bat-to-ball skills, and the type of production that could push him quickly through the system. But the biggest question may be on the defensive side: can he stick at third base, or does a potential move to first base change how we view his prospect ceiling? Jim and Murph dive into Gray's bat, his contact quality, his defensive outlook, and whether he could become a top-10 prospect in the Pirates system if everything clicks.

How to maintain character consistency, style consistency, etc in an AI video. Prosumers can use Google Veo 3's "High-Quality Chaining" for fast social media content. Indie filmmakers can achieve narrative consistency by combining Midjourney V7 for style, Kling for lip-synced dialogue, and Runway Gen-4 for camera control, while professional studios gain full control with a layered ComfyUI pipeline to output multi-layer EXR files for standard VFX compositing. Links Notes and resources at ocdevel.com/mlg/mla-27 Try a walking desk - stay healthy & sharp while you learn & code Descript - my favorite AI audio/video editor AI Audio Tool Selection Music: Use Suno for complete songs or Udio for high-quality components for professional editing. Sound Effects: Use ElevenLabs' SFX for integrated podcast production or SFX Engine for large, licensed asset libraries for games and film. Voice: ElevenLabs gives the most realistic voice output. Murf.ai offers an all-in-one studio for marketing, and Play.ht has a low-latency API for developers. Open-Source TTS: For local use, StyleTTS 2 generates human-level speech, Coqui's XTTS-v2 is best for voice cloning from minimal input, and Piper TTS is a fast, CPU-friendly option. I. Prosumer Workflow: Viral Video Goal: Rapidly produce branded, short-form video for social media. This method bypasses Veo 3's weaker native "Extend" feature. Toolchain Image Concept: GPT-4o (API: GPT-Image-1) for its strong prompt adherence, text rendering, and conversational refinement. Video Generation: Google Veo 3 for high single-shot quality and integrated ambient audio. Soundtrack: Udio for creating unique, "viral-style" music. Assembly: CapCut for its standard short-form editing features. Workflow Create Character Sheet (GPT-4o): Generate a primary character image with a detailed "locking" prompt, then use conversational follow-ups to create variations (poses, expressions) for visual consistency. Generate Video (Veo 3): Use "High-Quality Chaining." Clip 1: Generate an 8s clip from a character sheet image. Extract Final Frame: Save the last frame of Clip 1. Clip 2: Use the extracted frame as the image input for the next clip, using a "this then that" prompt to continue the action. Repeat as needed. Create Music (Udio): Use Manual Mode with structured prompts ([Genre: ...], [Mood: ...]) to generate and extend a music track. Final Edit (CapCut): Assemble clips, layer the Udio track over Veo's ambient audio, add text, and use "Auto Captions." Export in 9:16. II. Indie Filmmaker Workflow: Narrative Shorts Goal: Create cinematic short films with consistent characters and storytelling focus, using a hybrid of specialized tools. Toolchain Visual Foundation: Midjourney V7 to establish character and style with --cref and --sref parameters. Dialogue Scenes: Kling for its superior lip-sync and character realism. B-Roll/Action: Runway Gen-4 for its Director Mode camera controls and Multi-Motion Brush. Voice Generation: ElevenLabs for emotive, high-fidelity voices. Edit & Color: DaVinci Resolve for its integrated edit, color, and VFX suite and favorable cost model. Workflow Create Visual Foundation (Midjourney V7): Generate a "hero" character image. Use its URL with --cref --cw 100 to create consistent character poses and with --sref to replicate the visual style in other shots. Assemble a reference set. Create Dialogue Scenes (ElevenLabs -> Kling): Generate the dialogue track in ElevenLabs and download the audio. In Kling, generate a video of the character from a reference image with their mouth closed. Use Kling's "Lip Sync" feature to apply the ElevenLabs audio to the neutral video for a perfect match. Create B-Roll (Runway Gen-4): Use reference images from Midjourney. Apply precise camera moves with Director Mode or add localized, layered motion to static scenes with the Multi-Motion Brush. Assemble & Grade (DaVinci Resolve): Edit clips and audio on the Edit page. On the Color page, use node-based tools to match shots from Kling and Runway, then apply a final creative look. III. Professional Studio Workflow: Full Control Goal: Achieve absolute pixel-level control, actor likeness, and integration into standard VFX pipelines using an open-source, modular approach. Toolchain Core Engine: ComfyUI with Stable Diffusion models (e.g., SD3, FLUX). VFX Compositing: DaVinci Resolve (Fusion page) for node-based, multi-layer EXR compositing. Control Stack & Workflow Train Character LoRA: Train a custom LoRA on a 15-30 image dataset of the actor in ComfyUI to ensure true likeness. Build ComfyUI Node Graph: Construct a generation pipeline in this order: Loaders: Load base model, custom character LoRA, and text prompts (with LoRA trigger word). ControlNet Stack: Chain multiple ControlNets to define structure (e.g., OpenPose for skeleton, Depth map for 3D layout). IPAdapter-FaceID: Use the Plus v2 model as a final reinforcement layer to lock facial identity before animation. AnimateDiff: Apply deterministic camera motion using Motion LoRAs (e.g., v2_lora_PanLeft.ckpt). KSampler -> VAE Decode: Generate the image sequence. Export Multi-Layer EXR: Use a node like mrv2SaveEXRImage to save the output as an EXR sequence (.exr). Configure for a professional pipeline: 32-bit float, linear color space, and PIZ/ZIP lossless compression. This preserves render passes (diffuse, specular, mattes) in a single file. Composite in Fusion: In DaVinci Resolve, import the EXR sequence. Use Fusion's node graph to access individual layers, allowing separate adjustments to elements like color, highlights, and masks before integrating the AI asset into a final shot with a background plate.
When the show's most frequent guest returns for an impromptu job interview, we learn that hope springs eternal and the ideas list for Season 3 just keeps scrolling. But while Ben and Adam enjoy the bitter tannins of the world's very last Prodigy interview, Waltke finally explains who reins supreme as Prodigy's Barnus Franks. What would actually cause Murf to explode? Which whale can get it? Where does Waltke go for his technical info? It's the episode that couldn't do without a Greatest Trek exclusive.Support the production of Greatest TrekGet a thing at podshop.biz!Sign up for our mailing list!Greatest Trek is produced by Wynde PriddySocial media is managed by Rob Adler and Bill TilleyMusic by Adam RaguseaFriends of DeSoto for: Labor | Democracy | JusticeDiscuss the show using the hashtag #GreatestTrek and find us on social media:YouTube | Facebook | X | Instagram | TikTok | Mastodon | Bluesky | ThreadsAnd check out these online communities run by FODs: Reddit | USS Hood Discord | Facebook group | Wikia | FriendsOfDeSoto.social
