	In Episode 173 of comedian [http://www.wtfpod.com/podcast/episodes/episode_173_-_jonathan_winters Marc Maron's WTF internet radio program] (aired Monday May 09, 2011), Winters denies this accounting of events. He states that he does not know where the purported climbing of the mast originates from. In the interview he says, "I remember exactly what happened. I went up to the guy that sold tickets and I said, 'Gimme a ticket to go aboard the ''Balclutha''.' And the guy said, 'Okay.' And I said, 'What you need is a tri-cornered hat, and maybe a parrot for your shoulder. You gotta have maybe...twin Evenrudes, (to) kick this thing over and you'll be out there to sea in no time.' I went and sat down and the guy called the harbor police. The next thing they shook me around and put bracelets on me, and I said, 'What... what the hell's happening here?' (They said,) 'You're going to psychiatric ward.' Only because I'd put the guy on see, he figured I was on drugs. Not everybody has a sense of humor. I never went up in the mast. Someone put that in, I don't know who that was. All I know is; there's no picture of me in the mast. I was only in for a 2 week observation."
