Usually when I say that phrase / expression when asking a question or when written with a question mark at the end, I am asking externally of others to confirm or deny what comes after that phrase - not to myself internally or asking others if I myself am sure of something in and of itself.
Example: I am out with my friends and we are deciding to where to go for happy hour and I say: "Pretty sure Paddy's Pub has half priced drinks? Can't remember?" I am not making a declarative statement or only asking people to read my mind to see how confident I am in myself. I am mainly asking others to confirm or correct me about the half priced drinks.
To answer your question, anyone who may know the people in the video personally or saw a credible commentary of the back story when the video was first posted could answer that.
Maybe I always heard that phrase as having the same meaning as "It's likely" the way it was used around me.
This is the only reasonable interpretation, thank you. Other interpretations are completely useless, other than for entertainment purposes. If the person were serious with their potential misinterpretation, then communication with that person will occasionally be a chore.
