The Keys 

Dirty ass island chain off the coast of Florida. There is nothing to do unless you are a 60 year old boomer from Minnesota who likes to get wasted on a boat. Every single store is a tourist trap with the exception of Dollar Tree. Every single house is built on stilts, has crushed rock covering the whole yard, a boat out back, a manatee or fish mailbox, and a Lets Go Brandon or Trump 2024 flag flying. The islands are so narrow you can walk from one end to the other in a 50 seconds. You are isolated on a little island with a bunch of drunk old White people.
The Keys are a Midwestern retirement community for unrepentant alcoholics. And then the Cuban refs are on stock island.

Covenant of the Keys 

when a neighbor is entrusted with a set of keys in case one gets locked out of their apartment. The covenant provides the following ;
1) thou shalt not use the keys to obtain food from thy neighbors' refrigerator
2) thou shalt not use thy neighbors' bathroom unless first asking permission (even if yours is broken)
3) thou definitely shalt not be in thy neighbors' apartment when said neighbor is bringing home a date
4) if thy covenant is broken, then the offending party must pack up his/her belongings and move to California where he/she will probably end up being accused of murder (see The Ten Commandments )

At 1:34 AM:

Mr A: "...so yeah, that's the end of that epic adventure story, what do you think about that?"
Mr A: "Hello?"
Mr A: "I'm totally wasting my time and effort on this conversation aren't I?"
Mr A: "YOU'RE A SHIT FRIEND!!!"
