    Though the speech was ripe with overblown boasts and self-congratulations…

            You must mean this one:

            6: ruddy, plump, or full like ripened fruit

            a ripe figure

            This one refers to the shape of something - an actual physical object. So like “full lips” but not like a “full head” (abstract) or a “full stomach” (a feeling)

            A speech can’t be “ripe with” boasts in this sense.
