There's obviously a lot that's awful with this, but one bit that really stood out is Phil trying to insist he's doing this "on Jim's terms."
I get why he's saying that, he's basically trying to say "because I invited you, now it's on you to respond." And...maybe if it was a general invite, that'd be the case. But it's not on Jim's terms at all. It's on Phil's terms because he didn't ask for a nebulous interview at some point in the future. He asked for a very specific interview that adheres strictly to Phil's schedule, where it has to be on Thursday because he's watching the stream on Wednesday. Even if Jim was completely healthy, asking someone for an interview less than a week in advance, and an interview that only fits into Phil's schedule at that, that's entirely on Phil's terms.
Actually, it's even worse than that, because even finding the oh so generous invitation from Phil is on Jim because, as far as we know, Phil didn't even directly message him and just made a twitter post with the invitation video linked. It just goes to show how in Phil's hermit world, everything really revolves around him. I'm sure Jim has had nothing better to do these past few years except refresh Phil's twitter feed every 10 minutes in case the King decided to grace him with an invite to the pig trough.
