Roose says on today's episode of Follow Friday. "And it's like, well, literally yes. I was trying to help myself."He also talks with Eric Johnson about the risk of "becoming a monster" on Twitter, why a Facebook page for Christian moms makes him jealous, and the celebrity entrepreneur he's embarrassed to admit he follows.
