Pepe plays video games on a Sunday night when his mother unexpectedly asks him an extremely specific question about the F-104 Starfighter. He answers correctly because he is an aviation nerd, then realizes his parents used him as a trivia-night lifeline and won $10,000. The joke is about an obscure hobby suddenly becoming useful in an absurdly high-stakes situation.
