In this first episode of Quote Mining, Leslie and Ryan take on the phrase “Blood is thicker than water” and everything we assume it means. They explore its origins, its modern reinterpretations, and how a single line can shape family narratives, loyalty, and identity. It’s a conversation about language, legacy, and what happens when we look a little closer at the quotes we live by.
