What does love really look like when there’s a 35 year age gap?
Haily (35) and Rick (70) met at a charity poker tournament on May 4th, 2025. One year later they’re living in Los Angeles, raising a five year old, and hosting a podcast about everything age gap couples think about but never say out loud.
The Age Gap Effect is real love, real laughs, and real conversations about the looks from strangers, the family drama, the hard stuff like grief and mortality, and the moments that make all of it completely worth it. Funny, honest, and totally unfiltered — because someone had to say it.

Rick is the calm, collected, and occasionally outnumbered other half of The Age Gap Effect. At 70 he has seen a lot — but somehow nothing quite prepared him for Haily. A natural storyteller with a dry sense of humor and great hair, Rick brings the steady to Haily’s storm and somehow makes it all look easy. He is proof that the right person can show up at any age, at any poker tournament, completely unaware that his friend is running a wingman operation on his behalf.
