node.js call back function unclear

Hello! I'm getting an error running this script to pass the validator. Im not sure what the validator wants for a callback function -- ie) What is the anonymous call/back function supposed to be doing, so I can write it to pass the validation. Thanks Chris

app.js 
var https = require("https");
var get = https.get("https://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json", function(response) { } ");

The problem here is the double quotes after the callback function. The get() method takes 2 arguments, a string and a function. Simply remove them, and you're OK!
