My uncle told me to never pour a slab in Phoenix after 9 AM in July.

Ignored him once and the concrete set so fast we couldn't get a decent finish on a 20x20 patio. Anyone else have a hard cutoff for pour times in extreme heat?

Your uncle wasn't kidding around, was he?

Oh man, when you said "wasn't kidding around" it reminded me of my own uncle. Kevin_bailey, the key is to stay calm and just listen. Let him have his say, then wait a full day before you respond to anything. It gives everyone time to cool off.
