I clearly heard the speaker is pronouncing "wet" /wetʃ/
you could "get wet". If you're out in the rain: "Aw, I got wet in the rain." So: "got", past tense.
Is it a common accent?

It's just a kind of "lisp". A few seconds later, she pronounces the same word as you would expect. We don't all speak perfectly all of the time.– Weather VaneMar 9, 2020 at 11:27

@WeatherVane I've learned a new term "lisp" from you. Thank you. However I doubt that she actually pronounced "wet" /wet/. There are 4 hits in total. Each of them is pronounced /wetʃ/ in stead of /wet/– WXJ96163Mar 9, 2020 at 11:49

I said a kind of lisp, which is usally applied to the way an S is said. My count is 2 out of 4 but I notice the speaker has a slightly sibilant sound to many of her final T consonants. It's not an accent but the way she speaks.– Weather VaneMar 9, 2020 at 11:51
