The word for today is…

garrulous (adjective):

: given to prosy, rambling, or tedious loquacity : pointlessly or annoyingly talkative

Source : [Merriam -Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/garrulous?ref=goodoil.news)

Etymology : Garrulous is a 17th century Latin borrowing that has its origin in garrire, meaning “to chatter, talk rapidly.” That Latin root is probably imitative in origin—that is, it was coined to imitate what it refers to. English has a number of words that are imitative in origin, among them several others that describe ways of talking, such as babble and chatter.
