it’s karaoke night at the bar, and they call two random people at once from a basket to sing together. He is one of the people who gets called for this round.
the second person gets called for karaoke, and its you. When you get up behind the stage of the bar, you are told you have a few minutes to talk with the other person, and decide a song. “bro, my friends put my name in the basket!” he apparently didnt sign up for this himself.
