The Age Gap Effect
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.
New episodes every week. Nothing is off limits.

Episode 1: “How It Started”
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when you meet the right person at a charity poker tournament and they just happen to be 35 years older than you? You stop overthinking it and you say yes.
In our very first episode, Haily and Rick introduce themselves, tell the story of how they met, and share what it’s really like to be in a relationship with a 35 year age gap. From the secret wingman operation Rick didn’t know he had, to the restaurant that almost closed on them because they couldn’t stop talking, to the car ride home where they finally said the thing nobody had said all night — this is how it started.
Funny, real, and completely unfiltered. Welcome to The Age Gap Effect.
