I can't understand the meaning of this sentence very well: 聞いてもねえ事をペラペラと喋る。。。

I know that 事をペラペラと喋る means to talk glibly about something, 聞いて comes from 聞く
to listen, but I don't get the general meaning.

Thank you for your help.

question
translation
聞いてもねえ事をペラペラと喋る。。。
ペラペラと喋る is to talk fluently about something as if one has a very good
understanding of the topic.

聞いてもねえ事 means that he hasn't heard or asked about the topic, which implies
that he doesn't have a good understanding of the topic.

The sentence is saying the subject appears to have a good understanding
despite the speaker thinking that he shouldn't have a good understanding.

Part-by-part, it means

> 聞いてもいないこと things I haven't even asked  
>  をペラペラと喋る talking glibly about

i.e. whoever is uttering this sentence is talking about a chatterbox, who
talks about things nobody wants to hear ( _lit._ about things nobody asked). A
better translation might be

> 聞いてもねえ事をペラペラと喋る  
>  He's just talking non-stop about things nobody's interested in ( _lit._
> about things I haven't even asked) .

There is a good chance that the speaker refers to someone, who talks a lot
about himself/herself, his/her great achievements (i.e. to someone who
expresses 自慢).
