Old timer on my crew in Tulsa said to wet the brick before laying in July, and I brushed him off

Watched him lay 300 brick that afternoon with zero mortar drying out while mine kept sucking the water out of the mix. Now I keep a hose bucket on the scaffold whenever it hits 95, and the bond is way tighter. Any of you work in dry heat, do you dunk them or just spray the wall down?
