See, Stephen Williams Bragg of Barking, Essex is what you'd call a talker—especially once you hit upon one of the many wide-ranging topics in which he's interested, including the state of British-style curry in New York City, Beyoncé (he's a fan), and the rose-flavored ice cream we found on the menu.

I'm thinking also of my own family members—my grandfather Phillip Gover, who served in Italy in World War II; his brother Grant, a Pawnee Code Talker, who was killed in action in 1944 while serving in France; my uncles Marshall and Garry, who were sent to Vietnam, and my nephew Nathan Page, who served in Afghanistan.

" For all its semantic leaps, and its swaths of confusion — exacerbated by inter-poem echoes and compound words from German and Sanskrit — the kaleidoscope of scenes, quotations and exclamations let me imagine a poet behind the poems, a restless skeptic, aggressive talker and armchair traveler, "one of those who have a delight in / Renouncing whatever they chose.

Varadkar, who has a reputation as a straight talker with a distaste for glad-handing, said he wanted to level with the Irish people so they would not think he had a hidden agenda when he supported an upcoming same-sex marriage referendum (which passed, making Ireland the first country to legalize same-sex marriage by popular vote).

Come, take a stroll with me through my recurrent nightmare: It's the sweltering summer of 2029, and the man in charge is Tucker Carlson — that is, President Tucker Carlson, the one-time Fox News talker turned righteous, white nationalist economic populist, now in his triumphant second term, after having defeated the incumbent Joseph "Recession Joe" Biden back in 2024.

Jerry Bader, another top talker on Wisconsin's radio scene, told CNN's Michael Smerconish this weekend that he viewed Trump's recent abortion flap -- the candidate lurched from talk of punishing women who seek the procedure to a vaguer promise to reverse the current law through judicial appointments -- as a strong signal that the leading Republican presidential candidate lacked real conservative credentials.

A prolific trash-talker both in person and online, his brio was backed up by his success, though it was also in keeping with tradition: While the other competitive scenes grew out of networked PC games, fighting games have been a staple of arcades of the '90s, with players battling for supremacy on the same machine with attacks both virtual and psychological.

"UGH!" imagines how Scritti Politti would sound if Vampire Weekend was Green Gartside's backing band; "This Must Be My Dream" takes the shape of Haim covering Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody"; the throbbing Regret&B of "Somebody Else" drives a stake through the career of every cool-obsessed smooth-talker that preceded it (I'm looking at you, Kindness), and so on.

There is Damon Richards (Ryan Jamaal Swain), a timid and uncertain teenager victimized by his parents' virulent homophobia; there is Lil Papi (Angel Bismark Curiel), a shifty orphan governed by visceral street knowledge; there is Angel (Indya Moore), a ballroom goddess trapped in the sticky webs of streetlight prostitution; and there is Ricky (Dyllón Burnside), a smooth-talker who sleeps on a park bench near the pier.

In "Robert Lowell: Setting the River on Fire" (2017), Kay Redfield Jamison quotes the poet Frank Bidart, who said that Blackwood "was always a very vivid talker, but she got to be much more flamboyant, and there was a kind of vehemence, an apocalyptic, destructive coloration" to her words—not the "piercing and thrilling" and ultimately therapeutic speech Lowell had always heard from Hardwick.

Songwriting duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (La La Land, The Greatest Showman) have updated the words again for 2019, but for some reason, they also make the song more than twice as long as the original version — a wild choice, given that it ends up in the hands of Will Smith, who is not actually a singer, or even as compelling a "sing-talker" as someone like Rex Harrison.

All of which is to say that Robbie Tripp — who in the nearly two years since the viral post has courted the spotlight in various ways, including most recently releasing a "curvy girl hip-hop anthem" and accompanying music video — has become a sort of avatar for multiple internet phenomena wrapped in one: the debatably "woke" male feminist, the Instagram hustler, the TED talker, the online wife-haver, the milkshake duck.

Even die-hard fans will find tidbits here they didn't know or had perhaps forgotten: Bird being such an accomplished trash-talker that he would actually tell opponents what play they were going to run -- confident they couldn't stop him; Philadelphia fans chanting "Beat L.A.!" as Boston finished off their 76ers before heading west to face the Lakers; and the much-beloved Johnson being booed by hometown fans after he forced the firing of Coach Paul Westhead.

Take his response to President Obama's comments that women are better leaders than men: OTHER HIGHLIGHTS OF THE NIGHT: Sanders was the top talker of the night, by a hair: Bernie exclaims "I'm white": "If there was one issue that dogged Bernie Sanders in his 2016 campaign against Hillary Clinton, it was his inability to appeal to minority voters," our colleague Aaron Blake writes, listing Sanders as one of the night's "losers" for his answers on race.

In part, it's about how everything about being an influencer is real and a put-on at the same time: All of which is to say that Robbie Tripp — who in the nearly two years since the viral post has courted the spotlight in various ways, including most recently releasing a "curvy girl hip-hop anthem" and accompanying music video — has become a sort of avatar for multiple internet phenomena wrapped in one: the debatably "woke" male feminist, the Instagram hustler, the TED talker, the online wife-haver, the milkshake duck.

"I was spanking and a-freaking in a disco place," says Spoonie Gee (21960), who is the smooth talker, the midnight stalker, the image of the man they call the J.D. Walker, bouncing to the Patty Duke riddim as it shuffles from side to side, his voice track intermittently so flanged it hurts your ears, and that phrase takes on a power and significance you can't account for except by reference to its reminiscent tense, somehow a harbinger of how all of this will one day fade into sepia, since golden lads and girls all must, as chimney sweepers come to dust.
