She’s a firehouse

Orlando Magic player, Jonathan Isaac, was interviewed on the Rubin Report about his new clothing line, Unitus, and mentioned that Riley Gaines is going to be a brand ambassador. Here’s the relevant excerpt:

Um, she’s not swimming anymore, but she’s a, she’s a, she’s a firehouse, um, for what

she’s stood for and been able to do in women’s sports and looking forward to seeing

her kind of career and speaking and everything like that take off

Firehouse is a single word blend malaphor of “powerhouse” (a person of great energy, strength, or power) and “firebrand” (a passionate person who invokes change in a particular cause). A big thanks to Verbatim for catching this one and sending it in!
