We can expect to hear Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas and his Philadelphia counterpart Cherelle Parker making some sort of fun bet on the outcome of Super Bowl LIX.

That’s a rematch of Super Bowl LVII and Lucas won pizza and beer from former Philly mayor Jim Kenney.

The Chiefs’ phenomenal playoff success has made a big winner of Lucas, too. When teams face off in the playoffs, mayors of the cities often make wagers, and Lucas has cleaned up.

Lucas shared a list of what he’s hauled in thanks to the Chiefs postseason accomplishments.
