What does " offer " meaning in the sentence of "That's quite an offer. "

I read it on
Dealing with bored of BBC 6 minute English.

Rob

Restless, you mean unable to sit still because you get bored or worried even. Okay. I wonder how you'd feel watching the longest continuous play recorded?


Finn

That's quite an offer. What do you mean?

Does it mean the question Rob asked ? So does the sentence of "That's quite an offer" mean "That's an interesting question?"

Regards

I think that Finn is suggesting, in a light-hearted manner, that Rob is actually offering him the experience of watching the "longest continuous play recorded". Of course, Rob was merely using the long play as an example.
