"que alguien me explique" = someone explain this to me!

There's a bit on "hora derbez" called "que alguien me explique" in which the comedien impersonates a German guy (speaking Spanish with heavy German accent) in liederhosen trying to understand Spanish idioms. He can't understand so he pounds on the table and puts his fist through walls in stereotypical angry German fashion. You know the humorless German that always wants things neat and disciplined. The other day he was trying to understand "poner al corriente" which literally is "put to the current" but really means "update" and he was throwing himself practically onto the ceiling. That's also how I have felt the last couple of days. I think I'll be OK.
