I (or OP) either pronounce "globe" or "job" incorrectly. I don't know which is worse.

I see your Kevin Conroy and raise you a Mark Hamill.

Jingle bells
Batman smells
Robin laid an egg
The Batmobile
Lost a Wheel
And the Joker got awayyyyy!

Crashing through the roof
In a one horse open tree
Busting out I go
Laughing all the weeeee!

but /d͡ʒɔːb/ and /ɡlɔːb/ are pronounced the same?

Job is /dʒɑb/ and globe is /ɡloʊb/

Where are you getting those pronunciations from?
