Upper Radiator hose collapses under throttle?

Title says it all my upper radiator hose collapses on it self when i have the gas pedal pressed and the more i press the pedal the more it collapses! Truck has plenty of coolant and i noticed it runs cooler when idling obviously because its not under throttle but what would cause this?

He has an air bubble in the top of the engine, a thermostat stuck closed,and weak radiator hoses.
