OBJ jumps in the ice bath for Hart's "Cold As Balls" series.

Kevin Hart's "Cold As Balls" YouTube series continued today with a new episode featuring New York Giants star wide receiver, Odell Beckham Jr. During their time in the ice baths, Odell tells a wig-wearing Hart about his journey to the NFL, his epic one-handed catch against the Dallas Cowboys, and how his father was college roommates with Shaquille O'Neal at LSU.

Additionally, Beckham revealed that he grew up playing soccer and considered trying out for the U.S. Men's National Soccer team at just 13 years old, but ultimately settled for playing basketball, baseball and of course, football, which he says came easiest. Things worked out in the long run, as he recently signed a $95 million contract extension, which includes $65 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history.

In two games this season, the All-Pro wideout has 15 receptions for 162 yards, but hasn't found the endzone yet. The Giants, 0-2, will travel to Houston for a matchup against the Texans in Week 3.

Check out the full episode in the video embedded below.
