A deleted scene from prod no. H901, is. #97, "Mr. and Mrs. Sweet".
Dom Brokejaw's first proper appearance in the series was the Apr 2008 cold open (

At about
3:07 Rotch had an extra bit of dialogue after he mentioned "trolling for marlin". He was to add "maybe bag a bluegill or two". However, my voice choice to give out just then and cracked there, muffing the line badly and rendering it inaudible. I had to pause for a sip of water, and rather than stop and rerecord that bit, I simply pressed forward. So once I figured out how to edit my vid, you're spared thirty seconds of me coughing, drinking, swearing, and fumbling to find my place in the script. I struggled to keep my voice from seriously breaking a couple of times after that, but I think I held it together fairly well. To make matters worse, Bear started barking outside in the background and ruined the whole end of the scene, which necessitated a second take.
So on the whole, after two takes, an hour or so in post, and a couple of costume changes, I have officially recorded my first ever Belchvlog. Be kind to it, whaddaya say, huh?
