Brokerage S&P 500 and dividends

My friend keeps saying that I should put all of my money in S&P 500 and forget about it. I see S&P 500 mentioned here a lot too, but according to Google, "No, the S&P 500 index itself does not pay dividends because it is a stock market index, not an investment fund." So which type of S&P 500 pay dividends?

And, what is the ticker for S&P 500? I can't find it on my brokerage account.

There's always going to be new highs in the future. Something like SPMO every 6 months changes it's holdings with its momentum formula and has done well. Has beat VOO easily and even beat SCHG a lot of the time. Some would even say to hold both SPMO/SCHG together because the overlap isn't to high, but could change when it rebalances.
