A man and a woman are on a date in a fancy restaurant --- they are drinking wine, there are candles, etc. The man is tied with rope to his chair, and his hands are bound.
The man being tied up is quite odd and suggests that he might not actually want to be on this date, despite everyone's calm demeanor.
Why doesn't the man want to be on the date with the woman? Why, possibly, the the woman tie him up?
Relax. The DVR is set. You can catch the game tomorrow.

The man would rather be watching the sports match than go out to dinner with his partner on a date. The woman is re-assuring him that they are recording the game so he can watch it tomorrow, but he still needs to be tied down to his chair. It's funny partly because of the stereotype that men sometimes prefer sports to romantic evenings.
