exactly. but no, I do understand (for the most part) the gist of what everybody is saying. would it be best practice to use different names when calling/re-using the returned values, does it matter?

It depends. Often it's hard to find different names.
If you want to understand this:
msg, destPhone, caseNum, timeStamp, sender= pullData()Then you should read the pep-3132 (Extended Iterable Unpacking).
A good tutorial about iterable unpacking is here: https://realpython.com/lessons/tuple-assignment-packing-unpacking/

PEP-s are (usually) good reads. Me likes unpacking in for-loop (especially if one wants to have mutable list as result):
>>> for item in [(1, 2, 3), (10, 11, 12)]: ... print(item[1:]) ... (2, 3) # slices are tuples (11, 12) >>> for first, *rest in [(1, 2, 3), (10, 11, 12)]: ... print(rest) ... [2, 3] # lists [11, 12]
