Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Luke"
The meaning of "Luke" in various phrases and sentences
Q:

Phil: You're a regular chatterbox today!?
Phil: You're a regular chatterbox today!?
A:
In this context, regular means "real" or "total." This is an informal use of regular that is mostly just for emphasis (強調).
In the example sentence, if Phil instead said "You're a real chatterbox today!" or "You're a total chatterbox today!" the meaning would not change at all.
I would say it's fairly common to use it in this way. Here are some more examples:
"After school, John asked out 3 different girls. That guy's a regular Don Juan!"
*Don Juan = womanizer, playboy
"This Thanksgiving is going to be a regular feast, with mountains of turkey and mashed potatos."
And here's one from a TV show I love. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9v1HN0QAu4
"He's a regular Freddy Wilson, that one."
Tobias, the bald man, says sarcastically that the boy is similar to someone named "Freddy Wilson." But the joke here is that no one knows who this Freddy Wilson person is, creating a funny and awkward situation.

e.g. "He has done it" or "He has it"
"Luke started his new job three weeks ago" is right because the 'ed' at the end of "started" makes the sentence past tense.
