Help with custom situation

I am adding social icons to the end of my navigation bar manually in the functions.php file using this method:

http://www.billerickson.net/genesis-wordpress-nav-menu-content/

When I do this, they are added to the drop down select menu, but are not converted to options, it just re-prints my manual html. Causing errors in the html output.

If there a way I can exclude them in my function, like

if (we_are_printing_the_select_options) { return $menu; } else { return $menu.$follow; }

I know it’s an odd situation, just figured I’d ask.
