Yesterday, Matt Bevin found himself in some real hot dog water when Democratic state Rep. Russ Meyer released the audio of a threatening message the governor left on his voicemail. While there’s a lot we don’t understand about this story, such as, why is Matt Bevin still leaving voicemails for people at all, turns out this isn’t Bevin’s first time displaying this type of behavior. The New Circle Circular has obtained several other threatening voicemails Bevin has left. Here’s an exclusive sneak peak of each one.

“Hey, seriously if you don’t call me back, I’m going to run for governor.”
7. Lexington Dental Center, early 2016
“Look, if you won’t change my son’s appointment, I’ll be sure NO Kentuckians have access to dental care ever again.”

“Hey, if you don’t go like my selfie on Instagram, I’m gonna make you stand in the beer line at MoonTower Music Festival all day.”

4. Steve Beshear, July 2016

3. Sannie Overly (chair of KY Democratic Party), March 2016
