PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See Companioni v. City of Tampa, 51 So. 3d 452, 454 (Fla. 2010) (holding that absent a motion for a mistrial made contemporaneously with an objection, the conduct is subject to fundamental error analysis); see also Murphy v. Int'l Robotic Sys., Inc., 766 So. 2d 1010, 1028-31 (Fla. 2000) (explaining that to establish fundamental error, the complained-of issue must be improper, harmful, incurable, and the party "must also establish that the argument so damaged the fairness of the trial that the public's interest in our system of justice requires a new trial").
