Watch: Kim Kardashian West Won't Put Down Her Cell Phone

Kris Jenner has helped build a famous family empire, but even the momager can't accomplish this nearly impossible feat. 

While the clan of Kardashian siblings—Kim, KhloeKourtney and Rob—have built up enviable social media presences over the years, their mom is concerned about how attached they've become to their cell phones. So, she's planning an intervention. 

In an advance clip of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Jenner approaches a very distracted Kim and Khloe to discuss the devices they and their siblings cling to 24/7. 

There's only one problem—the ladies can barely hear what their mom is saying because they're ironically fixated on the shining screens.

In fact, it's such an issue that Jenner resorts to calling in an expert. 

"I want to set up a meeting with this communications professional to go over always being on our phones," she told them. "You're never not on your phone."

Their digital addiction has gotten so bad, it's affecting the family business.

"I'm so sick and tired of them not listening and having Khloe telling me to cancel events," she added. "As her manager, it's not professional."

However, Khlo is quick to turn the tables on mom. 

"I'm always the one who tells you, 'Put your phone down. We're at dinner,'" she said. 

As for Kim, she's not buying any of it. 

"That's the dumbest thing [I've] ever heard in my life."
