there's a lot to unpack here

'Unpack' means to take things out of a package or temporary storage like a luggage bag. Usually to put them in their proper place. This phrase often is used in relation to personal problems people are discussing, often as a subtle way to indicate there's baggage involved in the conversation or issue that needs to be broken down and evaluated.

The phrase can be used when there is a lot of information to process or problems to solve. It's a response provided by a person asking the other to slow down and give time to sort out what they've been given.
"Okay Angel, you just gave an hour-long monologue about how your girlfriend dumped you because you can't hold a job to pay your car loan, your mommy issues, getting fired, and your confusion which pronoun you want to be called. There's a lot to unpack here."

"Look Karen, you can't just hand me a 30-page document that I've never seen, then demand I give you an answer why it's messed up. Especially when you expect the answer in less than three minutes. There's a lot to unpack here."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! There's a lot to unpack here!"

There it isn't!

is a statement that can be spoken aloud, when somebody wants to mockingly fool their friend(s) into thinking that the subject in question is found when in fact, it is not. It also works exceedingly well, if the application of a pointed finger is applied.
Bobby, Derek, and Carolyne were looking for a roach that someone had dropped in the car, when Brandon yelled out, "There it isn't!", while he pointed his finger to the floorboard. Everyone knew they were fooled after Brandon started to smile and laugh at the same time.
