One day, my dad and his brother -- stop me if you've heard this story -- started out on what they thought was to be an uneventful drive to work.
Usually, in desktop publishing, we use an m-dash to separate parenthetical remarks... or parentheses.

You did not show which words were italicized. I would write the sentence like this:
One day my dad and his brother [Stop me if you've heard this story.] started out on what they thought was to be an uneventful drive to work.
I hope this helps.

You should use parentheses to set off "Stop me if you've heard this story". It should be:
One day my dad and his brother (stop me if you've heard this story) started out on what they thought was to be an uneventful drive to work.
