It's not the whip nah-nah.

It's not the dab.

It's called the running man challenge.

Take a look.

>> And it all started with two young men from Hillside, New Jersey.

Please welcome Kevin Vincent and Jeremiah Hall.

There's so many dances out there, and you made this dance up,

and how did you start this.

we were just sitting there, bored.

Just sitting there.

>> Hi, Ms. Graham.

>> Yeah, hi, Ms. Graham.

>> [LAUGH] >> Yeah, and

we were sitting there and the song >> My boo just started playing in my head.

So I was like I was just like going sing it.

So I started singing and yea.

>> I started dancing it, and so we just decided to make a video.

>> What does Ms. Graham teach?

>> Finance >> Finance.

Yea.

>> How was Ms. Graham during this portion of the.

>> Talking on the phone >> So no, but it was to the office.

>> So it was to the office.

>> [LAUGHTER] >> She is a great teacher.

But we decided to be ourselves and be silly.

>> So we had free time.

>> And so did the people in the class like the dance and start trying?

>> Honestly, they just sat there and watched us.

They didn't, I don't know why, but they just sat there

and stared at us like we were crazy.

>> All right, so, you sent the video and then you asked me for help, you said,

you called me out so of course I'm going to have you on,

and then these two basketball players actually made it go viral, right?

>> Yes. >> How did that happen?

>> I honestly don't know.

One day I was doing the dance and I posted a lot of videos on my Instagram and

then I woke up and these guys, the Maryland basketball players,

they did it and- >> We were like, what?

We made this.

>> Yeah, everyone is doing it now.

It was just it was crazy.

>> I know everyones doing.

So lets bring them right from the University of Maryland please welcome

Jayland and Jared.

Congratulations on making these men very very popular,

I mean, how did that happen, when did you see it?

>> I first saw it from Jared.

Jared showed me the instagram, and I was just like we dance every day for

our teammates in the locker room.

So we're the goofballs, and

we were just hey lets make a video to make everybody laugh, so.

>> Right. >> And

basketball's such a grind, especially at the college level.

So we just try to keep our teammates loose in the locker room.

And it's crazy, cuz now half the universities are doing it,

professional teams and celebrities.

>> By the way, congratulations.

You made it to the Sweet 16, right, didn't you?

>> Yeah. >> [APPLAUSE]
