分かるやつにしてよ meaning


I was reading Bilingual news (in Japanese and English). One topic in the
podcast touches on the decling birth rate and aging population in Japan. In
this context a discussion about nuclear families crops up, where the American
presenter mentions the old TV show full house. The following exchange takes
place.

> Michael: I thought there was some boy.
>
> Mami: えっ?
>
> Michael: Am I totally...
>
> Mami: うそだ.
>
> Michael: I'm not a Full House expert, but...
>
> Mami: じゃあ, 何でフルハウスを選んだの, 今?分かるやつにしてよ.
>
> Michael: But it's kind of interesting, you know, like the family size that
> ends up on TV. It's kind of an archetype of our society.

My question is what does Mami mean by 分かるやつにしてよ? It sounds like, 'Become an
expert!' but that seems an odd reading. So, what is she saying?




She's saying "pick something you know about."

She's using the verb する which obviously doesn't mean "pick/choose" but する can
sometimes be used vaguely like this. In this case translating literally might
be something like "do this (the thing we are talking about) with a thing you
know"
