"con tal de (que)" is roughly equivalent to "so that" or "in order to". It is commonly used in "He'll do anything to..." -type sentences:
Underwood es capaz de todo con tal de acceder a la Casa Blanca.

It means that you are tell him yes, yes, yes because you don't want a headache.
That's more polite option than Shut up! Fuck! You are giving me a headache.
"Provided that you shut up, he tells you to everything yes."
