It means essentially 'please tell me/us.' It is a piece of rhetoric and uses 'pray' in its archaic meaning of 'implore.' So the expression is a contraction of 'I pray (implore) you to tell me/us.'

I hope this helps.

^^^Do you have so much vag sand collected that you just have to throw it at everyone else? Is that the problem here?

I thought 'pray tell' meant 'I'm an obnoxious douchebag'.
