About this episode

This episode celebrates the life and legacy of Ren Osborne, an influential figure in the volleyball community.

This is a celebration of an urban legend, affectionately known as "The Queen." From the hard top and sand courts in central park, to winning a USAV championship, to dominating the regional and national indoor and outdoor scene, he was not shy at playing with anyone at any level at any time. He existed in the true dichotomy of "love him or hate him," with the former being the sentiment of all in his last days. 02:23 - Bernard Norman 07:34 - George and Rose Cassius 12:14 - Shadow Holden 16:23 - Eugene Escoboza 20:23 - Jorge Palomares and Steve (Hubby) 31:22 - Zacarias Ripoll-Cid 43:02 - Ken Bassarath 53:31 - Vanessa 1:01:45 - Andrew Balodis 1:09:26 - Xavier 1:20:59 - Janette Luna 1:29:37 - Rony Gilot jr 1:40:53 - Phil Gallagher 1:41:28 - Mike Salak 1:52:33 - Tony Bonilla 1:57:32 - Corey Mayes 2:08:32 - More fun Ren Stories
