And I was just trying to wash myself with that. And then I'm in the town car, and I'm on my way home, and I can still feel the...

lube in the hair of my legs i just felt gross and then i got home and i like took this like shower um have you seen redeeming love no it's just it's a it's a it's a faith-based film but essentially there's a girl that works in a brothel she meets a guy that has a faith they connect and he's kind of like trying to get a faith a faith yeah um

And he's trying to lead her to the Lord and also wanting to be with her. But for us to be together, I want you to follow the Lord. And there's this point where she's – and I can just relate to this so much – where there's something inside her that was craving the only thing that she knew, which was chaos. Right. Because he's in a cottage on a farm. They're eating good food. But that's it.

They're on a farm. It's just him and her. This is pre-television and internet. It's just them. It was like she was going crazy, not experiencing chaos, and she ended up going back to the brothel, and she turned a trick, and it didn't feel the same. And she felt so dirty and so disgusting. She couldn't believe that she went back to the thing that she wanted to be rescued from.

And there's this scene where she's in this river, and she's got a rock. And she's scrubbing her body. But what she's trying to scrub off is not on a surface level. And, man, I've took many of those showers. Damn. But I was like, never going to do it again.

And like... I mean, it was not sexy. The girl was not super attractive. There was no positive experience. I mean, I could make $500 bartending at a bar in Hollywood. I mean, there's like 500 bucks for that. I'm like... What a mistake that was. You know, I'm out. But, you know, 2006, different world.

So I didn't realize that that scene was for the most popular website, the most popular porn website in America at that time. And they shoot like three to five scenes a day and they post every day. So the turnaround was pretty quick. So it was up the next week. What was the website? It was like Naughty America or something like that.

and it was like so all of a sudden like a few of my fraternity brothers and then a few other people I was like dude I saw you on this website I saw you on this website I saw you on this website and then you know being from a small town the thing about a small town it only takes one person to know one thing about your life for everyone to know everything about your life and

Someone told my uncle at work, and then my uncle told my mom, and then I get a phone call from my mom. Growing up in the South, how much of your name is used is how much trouble you're in. I heard when I answered the phone, Joshua Luke Broom, did you do a porn? Did you do a porno film? I was like, I did, Mom.

like in that moment like satan just put his foot on my throat because i already believed there was something wrong with me but i i can remember it so clearly because when i heard the pain in her voice when she said why did you do that satan said to me see you're exactly who you thought you were You're not a kid that does bad things. You are bad. And then I begin to shrink.

And I begin to believe, man, I hurt the only person that never hurt me. Maybe I'm not even good enough to be her son. And then a few days go by and then my manager calls me. Normally, when they want me to come by the agency to have an in-person meeting, it's a good thing. It's like, hey, here's an offer on the table, and let's assess it. Do you want to accept it?

Now, your name's attached to a pornography website. That's a big problem for us. I think a lot of you, but we're going to have to end our professional relationship. Fired. So now I'm like... Now what? I blew up my whole life. Bam.

So then, like, well, what do I do? And then I begin to believe the lie that the only thing that I could do as a 22-year-old is continuing to do the very thing that created so much turmoil in my life because that was the only viable option. And in perfect timing, agent calls me, porn agent calls me, hey man, that scene went viral. I'd love to offer you a contract.

She was hurt, disappointed. Told me that I probably needed to move back home. Damn. And if I'm honest, I didn't know what to say. I didn't say anything because I didn't know what to say. I didn't say I was sorry. I just kind of, yeah, I did it. I didn't know what to do.

Oh, so good.

Yeah.

I'm happy to hear that. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, the porn agent calls me and like, hey, I want to sign you to a contract. And so I doubled down. I was like, well, you know, I'd found some way to, for the most part, everything that I've done in life, I'm relatively successful at. And I thought, well, I have good work ethic. I have good communication and people skills.

So I feel like I can really figure out this industry. So I feel like... I can become the guy. And I did. Over seven years, I did over a thousand films, won around 20 different awards, directed for some big companies, wrote some movies, starred in some of the biggest grossing movies that they've ever put out in the porn industry. They did crazy stuff. We did...

We did a Star Wars movie, and I played Han Solo. Most people just think, oh, they had sex. Well, it was shot over several months. They built a replica Millennial Falcon. We had actual replicas of guns and stuff and costumes and grew my hair out and stuff. But...

You know, and then as I'm doing that, it's like a little part of me was like, oh, this is art in a way, but it's like still, you know, still porn. But doubled down and had a lot of success and got nominated for performer of the year four times. And I didn't win it until 2012, won it in 2012. And I thought, man, if I ever won that award, that would solidify for me my worth.
