The order of the brachos:
he says Avos, Gevuros and Kedushas HaShem,
and includes Malchiyos — the kingship verses — with them,
and he does not blow.
Kedushas HaYom —
and he blows.
Zichronos, the remembrance verses —
and he blows.
Shofros, the shofar verses —
and he blows.
And he says Avodah, Hoda'ah and Birkas Kohanim.
These are the words of —
Rabbi Yochanan ben Nuri.
Said to him —
Rabbi Akiva:
if he does not blow for Malchiyos,
why is he mentioning them at all?
Rather, he says Avos, Gevuros and Kedushas HaShem,
and includes Malchiyos with Kedushas HaYom,
and he blows.
Zichronos —
and he blows.
Shofros —
and he blows.
And he says Avodah, Hoda'ah and Birkas Kohanim.

This English is a clause-by-clause rendering to help you follow the Hebrew. It is not word-for-word literal, and it is not a transcript of the recorded shiur — the audio carries explanation and context the translation deliberately leaves out.
