“I'm just a girl”: Iowa icon Kate Martin addresses a “mistake” she made during podcast with Caitlin Clark’s BF Connor McCaffery in 2023

Las Vegas Aces guard Kate Martin played with Caitlin Clark and Jada Gyamfi at Iowa and the three have formed a close bond over the years. Martin visited Gyamfi on Monday and sat with her for over an hour-long episode of the "Fresh Tawk with Jada Gyamfi" podcast.

Gyamfi welcomed Martin to the show and had a candid conversation about their experiences as basketball players. The Aces star opened up about an incident when she found herself at the center of a social media storm after she messed up a word during a podcast with Clark's boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, a year ago.

"So when I came on the podcast with Connor and Patrick I said something about, so what did I say? Something being like, oh I said 'dilated' instead of 'diluted.'

"The TikTok has like fifty thousand likes, I'm like why would you guys blow this up out of everything? I'm like I had to comment and be yes guys, I realized I made a mistake please give me some grace. I'm sorry, I'm just a girl." [Time Stamp - 18:00]

Kate Martin appeared on "T'd Up! with Connor and Patrick McCaffery" in May 2023. She was narrating a story from her time at Iowa when she got stuck at the arena after a win against South Carolina in the Final Four of March Madness.

"We just beat South Carolina to go the national championship and I'm sitting in this back room, like crying just by myself. I was so mad," Martin said.

"I drank some apple juice had some food, a little bit of water but you couldn't drink that much because then it would get dilated or whatever. So I was there until like I didn't get back to the hotel and like till 2:15 AM." [Time Stamp - 28:05]
