The files show Epstein reached out via physicist Lawrence Krauss (who was on JRE in 2017) right after Krauss's appearance, emailing something like 'I saw you did the Joe Rogan show, can you introduce me, I think he's funny.' Krauss tried, Rogan shut it down hard ('B*tch, are you high?!'), and Krauss later apologized to Epstein calling Rogan 'more timid than I would have thought.' Being 'in the files' for straight-up refusing is about the best way to appear there.
