The structure combines "How's ya mama?" (asking about your mother) with "and them" (and the rest of your family or close people), forming a friendly, informal greeting. It is used in the Southern United States, especially Louisiana and surrounding states, as a way of asking about someone's family or loved ones, often as a warm opening to a conversation rather than a literal request for health updates. People typically say "Hey, how's ya mama and them?" when greeting a friend or neighbor.
