Can any native english speakers help me out here?
A girl messaged me
>Gahhh, I really want to reply to this, but I'm about to go to a friends house for a movie marathon. Of course I could just wait until tonight to reply...but I want a golden egg nnooowww!! I'm about to drive for an hour...uh...can I...call you?
what does golden egg mean? Is that an idiom or something?

Amerifat here, without any other context this doesn't mean anything to me either.

It is a reference to the movie "The Wizard of Oz." In the movie, there is a little girl who is very mean and impatient. At one point in the movie, she demands a golden egg even though it would be very inconvenient to give her one.
So in this case, the girl means "I want to talk to you right now even though it's a little inconvenient." She is saying it playfully.

It's about patience. The golden egg refers to the story of the goose that laid solid gold eggs. The owners got greedy and assumed that the goose was loaded with gold, so they killed it and cut it open.
No gold.
If they'd simply been patient, they'd have had a gold egg every day.

There is no such girl or egg in the movie.
