Not bad, you're close. I recommend a clean start. From there, it's already using the unpacker function on "Python" and "rocks!". We want to change that expression so that it assigns to val1 and val2 the unpacker() function with "Python" and "rocks!" passed through it. The unpacker function and it's arguments are already there, we just want to change what's assigned to that function call.
