Football star meets medieval squire from @beastmode

Former NFL player Marshawn Lynch provides a humorous, mockumentary-style commentary on the daily life of a medieval squire who has been sent to serve him as part of a promotion for a new HBO series. Lynch observes and reacts as the squire obsessively cleans his house, does yard work, and eventually dons armor, leading to a mock sword fight and a game of golf. The skit culminates with Lynch accepting the squire into his world, dressing him in modern accessories.
