The answer is:
M: I haven't heard from my sister since last month.
input question: M: Yes, it's because I smoke. W: How many cigarettes do you smoke? M: Thirty a day. W: Smoking is bad for your health. M: I know. W: Give it up. M: It's easy to say. But how? W: Count one, two, three until ten before you have a cigarette. M: That's a goad idea. W: Don't smoke after dinner. M: But I like a cigarette after dinner. W: Eat an apple or have a cup of tea instead. M: It's no good. It's difficult to give it up. What was said before this conversation????

Kids: We had to use the fire extinguisher. Chef Randall: But that's another story. So, anyway, today I'd like to share with you our favorite ... at least my favorite ... chocolate chip cookie recipe. Now, before you switch the TV channel, I know what you are thinking. "Another fattening cookie recipe." But wait. What makes this recipe great is that it offers a wonderful low-fat, low-calorie, low-cholesterol dessert for the entire family. Kids: We still like the fat though. Chef Randall: Well, I know we do. But let's see. We have all the ingredients, so we can start by mixing all of the ingredients, the sugars, the flour, the egg whites, the low-fat butter, vanilla, baking soda, and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl. Then, we add the mini chocolate chips. Now, my kids would like me to add the big ones but we start with the mini-chocolate chips. And don't forget to preheat the oven to 350 degrees (Fahrenheit). And finally, when the cookies are done, take them out of the oven, remove them from the cookie sheet, and let them cool before their fingers get into them. Did I forget anything? Kids: Yeah, if you have college-age kids, be sure to make a few extra batches they can take back to school for their roommates. And don't forget the kids still at home. Chef Randall: Oh, well yeah. We can't do that. We can't forget them. And unfortunately, by the time your kids get the cookies, you, the cook, will be left with a single cookie - your instant diet plan for you - and a dirty kitchen. So, that's all for today. On next week's show, we will be showing you how to feed hungry teenagers on a budget without having to sell the family car. Until then. What was said before this conversation?

Answer: Chef Randall: Well, hello everyone, and welcome to today's show. And joining me today is my daughter, Ashley, who has had to endure my cooking experiments over the years. Are we ready, Ashley? [Ready to eat.] No, let's wait for a few minutes. We'll get to that. But as you know, my faithful listeners, I starting cooking and baking almost 30 years ago when my grandmother taught me in her humble kitchen. In fact, she taught almost me everything I know, and I've never attended cooking classes [You should have ...] Wait, wait, wait ... I know my daughter's going to mention to you faithful listeners that recently as I was helping the kids prepare for our kitchen for chicken meal, I forgot to take the chicken out of the oven, burned the bird to a crisp, and we ended up ordering pizza for dinner.
Q: W: Tom what? M: Tom Smith. W: No. But I know a Tim Smith. M: Oh, yes, you are right. It was Tim Smith I meant. You know what happened to him the other day? W: No, what happened then? M: Well, he told me he saw his dead grandfather in London. W: Oh, come on. You are not telling a ghost story, are you? M: But he told me it was true. You see, his grandfather used to be an army officer during the war. And because he didn't return home after the war, everybody thought he had been killed in the war. W: But then, he suddenly appeared alive, like in those films. M: Exactly. Tom, oh no, Tim, told me that by chance he saw an old man at the railway station selling newspapers. And he was surprised to see someone like his grandfather in a picture he had seen. So naturally he went to the man and asked him whether his name was Smith. And the man, I mean, his grandfather, said yes, and after that everything happened just like a film. W: Amazing. But why didn't the old man go back to his hometown after the war? M: Well, that's another long story. I'll tell you later. What was said before this conversation?
