Nice try, but the "g" is not the difference. My g always is a bit in free variation.

March 1 (Sat.) or March 2 (Sun.). Can anyone
interested in a team Skype on either of those days post and let me know which is best?
Tommus, fabriciocarraro...?

Please don't plan based on my availability because I am extremely busy these days, even
on weekends, and its not very predictable. I'll try to join in if I can.

It's also not a single isolated word that's different. It's a pronunciation thing that
runs throughout the whole recording.

Alright, I hear some difference after 10 seconds into the second recording.
Example 1 - tongue-tip r/flap/tap/whatever after consonants and in intervocalic positions
Example 2 - uvular r

Both examples have retroflex R before consonants (as far as I could hear).

Retroflex r in front of consonants is pretty much standard Dutch whatever sound you use
otherwise, although there are people in dialects who often pronounce the same sound and
add a schwa between the r and the following consonant (except if that consonant is a
d/t).

Yes, the difference is in the r sound. Alveolar in 1, uvular in 2. (The second is my
natural pronunciation).

Hekje, I'm so sorry it wasn't clear....
As far as I had understood, "en stoemelings" means you do something not the proper way (you do not follow the official rules) and thus keep it secret. You don't tell anyone (= je bent stom). In my example a colleague needed a specific task to be completed. But if she had asked her colleagues and had waited for their answers, her project would have been delayed. So she did this task quickly herself (trying not to make it public. But I caught her:-)).
Has this become a bit clearer?

Tarvos, great thanks for this task! I have spent ages in front of my computer, again and again re-playing both recordings in parallel, stopping after each few words.
I couldn't find the difference. But I am very bad at these things....Jeff - congrats!!

Tarvos: Is that r specific for a specific dialect?

Which r? Every pronunciation of "r" is extremely dialect-dependent. The way I
pronounced it is more or less the "newscast-reader" voice. The rolled r in the first
part is I think the original, official pronunciation, but the French r is equally
common, especially in the west. Newscast readers can use either. So whichever
pronunciation I choose it's both okay (that's why most people don't really hear the
difference unless they're trained).

R changes in front of a consonant or in coda (at the end of a syllable, like in "maar")
because having to go to the trouble of pronouncing an actual "r" is too cumbersome. In
Belgium they do pronounce a full r though. (But I can't really imitate a Flemish
accent). In dialect, or in Flanders, you will often hear the remaining "r" sound
because they don't weaken the r, so you will hear verrrrruf instead of verf (with the r
turning into something like English or Swedish).

For example, when I say "bewaard", you will hear the r disappear a bit and become
weaker and it will not trill. This is standard in the Netherlands for most people in
the west (and always before d/t), but in "verf" (an f comes after), usually you can
tell who is from where when they say "vewf" or "verruf" because the second is usually
the dialectal way of saying it.

R after a consonant, between vowels or when starting a word is, however, ALWAYS
pronounced with either the tap or the uvula. Unless you are speaking posh Leiden
dialect (then it's like in English, but that is the most horrible accent I know).

En stoemelings... hahaha.... c'est belge!
