The context of the following conversation is Riley was looking forward to the big game. Riley was able to see the game on TV.:
Riley says The cable channel that the game is on finally started working so we can watch it now..
The friend responds What was wrong with the channel?.
Riley responds It was just a black screen for hours this morning and I thought we weren't going to be able to watch it..
The friend responds It is a good thing it works otherwise you'd have to go to a bar..
Riley responds I know, the bars around here charge to get in when there is a game too..
The friend responds That's what I mean, thank god the channel came back on..
