| 0:00.0 | What's up? Hey there, welcome to this edition of The Shaline Show. Kind of a different type of episode, one I haven't done before, but based on popular demand, based on your request, here it is. My Top 20 Picks for documentaries. |
| 0:12.9 | Welcome to the Shaline Show. Shaline is a New York Times bestselling author, celebrity fitness trainer, and obsessed with helping you live your dream life. |
| 0:21.5 | People are always surprised when I talk about the number of audiobooks, podcasts, and documentaries |
| 0:27.5 | that I watch. |
| 0:28.3 | They're like, don't you, like, have a business to run or things to do? |

| 1:36.9 | start conversations to expose your family and your kids to real life. And it's really cool. |
| 1:43.1 | So if you have a difficult time, this is just a family thing right now, |
| 1:46.7 | like a parenting thing. If you have a difficult time connecting with your kids on something, |
| 1:51.3 | on some level, maybe they're all caught up in their video games or they spend a lot of time |
