Julie pranks her parents on the radio by telling them she is dating a Catholic Italian, and her Jewish parents blow up over it, to the point of threatening to kill themselves and then the guy.
It gets crazier and crazier. I have no idea how people can think like this.

I can feel the love.
I guess event the Jews have to have a few whackjobs.
You would be surprise the number of left-wing secular Jews who still believe they need to preserve their race by being against Jewish inter-racial marriage and supporting Israel as a state that will always have a Jewish majority. (Often while supporting open immigration for the rest of the world, like Ben Wattenberg)
Find a Jewish atheist and debate the issue, its like debating religious person.
You will be called a racist instead of heretic. Seriously, we all evolved from the same African primates, so there is really only one race, the human race. Date, screw and marry whoever you want
Thanks! I will!
This is absolutely hilarious, and a bit disturbing, but hey, I got a laugh out of it.
Wow…this is nuts…”I’ll bring some spaghetti and meatballs!”
Wow…just wow…
This is SO incredibly backwards! I’m religious, but WAIT! I’ll KILL you!
Screw the 10 commandments.
Italians are kosher if you completely drain them of blood.
But the cut across the neck must be clean, and must sever both major arteries. A rabbi must be on hand to make sure the Italian didn’t suffer unduly.
Also, you can not cook Italians with the same utensils you use to cook dairy products.
And they have to be served on glass plates.
Anyone noticed that dad sounds like a gangster from the movies like godfather :)
Somehow his accent sounds a little italian :)
Hah. Yes, I did notice that.
Funny about them sounding like Italian gangsters! I think that’s just the “Brooklyneese” we hear. But the parents (especially the father) harbor thoughts that are just friggin horrible. He’s an avowed terrorist.
On the lighter side, that DJ ROCKS! “…..spaghetti and meatball dinner!”. Classic!
I can say this much.
My in-laws are Jewish AND from Brooklyn.
There is NO way this bit is for real.
One size does not fit all, and we’ve seen firsthand what religion can do to people.
I’m fairly certain that as long as you don’t cover the meat of an Italian with Italian blood, it’s kosher.
And mozzarella is right out!
Oh shit!
I will *never* get a date again!
Are Atheist Italians Kosher? =)
We raised you to be racist and you are not. i’m gonna kill myslef
Religion = stupid and proud of it
lol I think this is a great example of how foolish religion can make people.
This is the most stereotypical thing I’ve ever heard. He sounded very Italian.
Replace Italian with white, and Jewish with Hindu and you get my parents. I have yet to tell them about my boyfriend of 1.5 years out of fear of this same reaction. This did give me a good laugh though. I might have to play it for them sometime. :D
Racism at it’s finest.
For anyone who doesn’t know, this is from Elvis Duran and the Morning SHow (based in NYC on Z100, but syndicated all over). They do these “phone taps” every morning. They’re not always this good though!
lmao!! that radio host really fired him up!! lol!
these people are scary
Anyone seen “the mist”, my worst nightmare ever! At least they blew her brains out.
It’s almost a miracle they let her go on so long in the film. But I was also surprised to see such a straight-forward presentation of the very large loon segment of the US religious world.
And what was dad going to do to her when she got home? Stone her? I didn’t find it funny at all. F—ing ignorant.
No I didn’t laugh.
Parents like hers are the people who start religious and racist wars. These are the people who started Ruanda. These are the people who caused Darfur. These are the people who watch children being tortured to death for witchcraft. These are the parents who bless their children when they go off to hijack a plane.
I hear it’s a cliché that Jewish parents, mother especially, go into total hyperbole mode in a second. But still, even if they were only 5% serious in what they said, it’s scary.
Hey! How’d you find my parents!?!?
Tony Soprano says Italians are just Jews but with better food. So what are they so upset about?
Seriously — this is not even an extreme example of the bigotry
