You want to do something more like this:

const https = require("https");
const request = https.get("https://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json", response => {
  console.log(response.statusCode);
});

(Assign the result/return value of https.get() to the request variable, essentially.)

I hope that helps.

Stay safe and happy coding!
