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.

The Age Gap Effect
Episode 3: “The Math”
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Every age gap couple has done it. Alone, in the dark, at some point — you’ve done the math. The ages, the timelines, the years. And then you closed that tab and went and made a snack and pretended you weren’t just spiraling.
This week Haily and Rick open the tab. Out loud. Together.
They talk about the moment age finally came up between them, the dark humor that gets them through the hard thoughts, why they go to couples therapy, and the real fear underneath all the jokes. And why after all of it — they’d choose each other anyway.
This is the episode that goes to the real places. Bring a snack. You might need it.
