The claim faithfully reflects the podcast passage, where the speaker says the 'second barb' fire truck is an 'old 1989'.

What was said

… A poker table. Yeah, you could do that. That's one sided, but we can make that happen. Yeah, how much bigger than the MERV table? Ah, a third a third larger than the MERV.

What we found

Context. The claim's referent comes from the claimant's own passage ('The second barb is one from, like, 1990s. It's an old 1989, 1989'), which is not evidence and cannot corroborate the claim.

Context. The podcast episode listing and clips mention the group's fire trucks (the Powerhouse, the MERV) and 'ANOTHER Fire Truck', but give no model year for any of them.[1][2]

Context. The 1989 fire trucks in the listings (a 1989 Ford 8000 pumper, a 1989 Amertek CF4000L, 1989 Pierce Lance units, and a 1989 Toyota Land Cruiser firetruck) are unrelated vehicles and do not address the podcast's trucks.[3][4][5][6]
