Just posting some info.
I needed to remove the description from the feed because the feed was taking up too much space. I probably could've just limited the amount of text coming in from the description but I used this method instead. The following is what I commented it out.
Changed
<span>'.(SimplRssfirstWords($item->description,15)).'...</span>
to
<!-- <span>'.(SimplRssfirstWords($item->description,15)).'...</span>
-->
