*args for tuples im so confused

I'm very confused here, absolutely no idea where i'm going wrong or what to do..

twoples.py 
def multiply(one, two, *args):
    total = one, two
    for num in args:
        total * len(args)
    return total

You might have this challenge confused with a previous one. In this one, you'll be multiplying the arguments with each other. Here's a couple of hints:

  • you won't need the length of an argument in this challenge
  • you won't need individually-named arguments
