James Brolin is starring in the Hallmark Channel TV movie "Christmas With Tucker," which centers on a dog named — you guessed it! — Tucker.

And in the course of talking about the movie and dogs, Brolin came up with this gem:

"There's an old test," he said. "They say you take your dog on a hot day and your wife, and you put them in the trunk and you wait an hour. Then you open the trunk and see who is glad to see you."

Brolin is, of course, married to Barbra Streisand.
