What a fun puzzle! From the title I was afraid at first I'd have to learn more about pop culture.

Hmm, I see a pretty clear Step 1 but can't figure out what to do next. Juggling a couple of ideas.

Stuck on a Step 1 too... Was very excited to see 34A as an entry!

It was fun but a bit of a swimming blind kind of thing. Doable but you must flail a bit.

First step jumped out, but now we're doing the 40 yard flail.

Flailing after Step 1. Looks like I'm in good company. Halfway there, I think....

I'm wondering... wasanyone who got this able to get it without "flailing". I got it through "guided flailing" but I wonder if I'm missing something.
PM me (for obvious reasons) if you knew something I didn't.

Iβm a bit late to the Dino party, but Iβve gotten off or on the train, depending on which one goes with the metaphor.

Solved with an assist. I asked Will for some yes/no help because my Fall classes start tomorrow and I needed to wrap this up.
My first idea for Step 2 was correct but I abandoned that rabbit hole prematurely, kind of like the cartoon character meta from last season.
