No provided source independently confirms when the podcast hosts took possession of the fire truck. The only support is the claimant's own statement in the episode, which cannot corroborate itself, and the podcast listings mention only that the hosts 'Got ANOTHER Fire Truck' without a date.

What was said

Ah, when do we actually buy that? Was that 2020? No, it's the fucking of '19. No, no, but we actually took possession of it in 2020. I negotiated the deal somewhere between November and December.

What we found

Context. The passage is the podcast speaker's own statement that 'we actually took possession of it in 2020,' which is the claim's only basis and cannot count as corroboration.

Context. The podcast episode listing (Podbay and Apple Podcasts) names the episode 'Joe & Rich Got ANOTHER Fire Truck' but gives no acquisition date, so it neither confirms nor refutes the 2020 date.[4][5]

Context. The remaining sources (Full Fact, Snopes, PBS, Keesler Fire Department, court opinions, and other podcast pages) do not address this podcast's fire truck or its acquisition date.[1][2][3][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
