We have to kick it into overtime

On the HGTV show “100 day beachfront hotel”, this malaphor appears in episode 2 at 20:20. Mika Kleinschmidt, the Tampa realtor and star of the reality show, says “we have to kick it into overtime.” This is a congruent conflation of “kick it into overdrive” and “working overtime”, both phrases meaning to work very hard to achieve something. Obviously the words “overdrive” and “overtime” sound and look similar, almost making this a malaprop. However, there are definitely two idioms/phrases mixed up here, making it a perfect, subtle malaphor. A big thanks to Yvonne Stam for hearing this one and sending it in!
