He uses "got" in the past tense here because it goes with the expression "we've got" which is a contracted form of "we have got". He doesn't actually say "we've got", here, he says "we got". This is because he dropped the "have" as it is already implied in this case. "Have got" is an idiom which has the same meaning as "have". So even though "got" is past tense, the phrase "have got" is a present tense verb. Here's some more examples of "have got": Ex: He has got seven horses on his ranch. Ex: I've got to start working so I can make some money.
