Not a native speaker here but according to Linsley, "for" would be reduced to the weak form while "four" wouldn't be.

Native speaker here and you got it before I did. How do I know? I didn't get it until I read your comment. Thank you.

Native speaker here and I took forever to get it; I wasn't looking for a pun like that.

My NZ accent would pronounce both the same.

He's right! But it's not a 100% thing and could be spoken the same way without sounding weird as long as you don't put much emphasis on it.

I did not get the joke till I read your comment. Thank you.
