gasbags
They never stop
Gasbags is the plural of gasbag—a container holding gas, as in a balloon or airship.
More commonly, gasbag describes a person who talks excessively without saying much of substance: The meeting dragged on because a few gasbags wouldn't stop pontificating.
The metaphor captures how such people seem inflated with hot air.
